New and Improved Electronic Bookshelf

Did you know that Affinity Library Services subscribes to over 350 online textbooks in medicine, nursing and allied health? We track all of them in a QuickBase application called The Electronic Bookshelf.

You can get a sneak peak here. This new version will replace the old version on December 17th, 2007.

How to get there :
Library Home Page > Find Books > Electronic Bookshelf (old version) > New and Improved eBooks on QuickBase

The Electronic Bookshelf is a DIRECTORY, or index, of the eBooks Affinity-ites can access in various free and subscription sources. It does not (and will not) search the full-text of these eBooks.

Since most of our vendors are IP-authenticated, you'll need to be at an Affinty computer in order to access the eBooks. Use outside Affinity will result in broken links.

Users will be able to search or browse by subject, title or keyword.
The eBooks database will present a direct link into any of the eBooks we track.

Sources covered include eBooks from the following :
Books@Ovid
Stat!REF
MDConsult
NCBI Bookshelf
