NetLibrary reaches 100,000-title milestone
Although eBooks seem to be getting plenty of attention these days, I sad to say that the wonderful and amazing NetLibrary continues to do great work. Congrats to everyone at OCLC and NetLibrary on the milestone. Now, if we could just get more people to know that they have access to NetLibrary materials via their local library. (-: From the announcement, “The NetLibrary platform syndicates content from more than 400 publishers and makes it available in systems serving 13,000 libraries worldwide. NetLibrary titles are all represented in WorldCat so metadata for these titles are available to all OCLC member libraries. To meet increased demand for eContent worldwide, NetLibrary continues to expand its catalog by offering a growing collection of eBooks, eAudiobooks, eJournals and subject-specific databases from leading publishers worldwide. More than 20,000 new titles have been loaded in 2005 alone.”
