Web View | Print View

Stanford University Libraries and Academic Information Resources (SULAIR) has added a major new e-book service, MyiLibrary. Note that you have to disable pop-up blockers in your browser before accessing MyiLibrary.

E-books available through MyiLibrary cover many different disciplines.

SULAIR's initial agreements for MyiLibrary e-book purchases focus on selected titles from Oxford University Press (some 7000 titles published between 1960 and 2007); Cambridge University Press (some 3000 titles published between 1995 and 2006); and Springer (all e-books from 2005-2007, and some earlier years).

Titles available will increase in coming months as additional titles from various publishers are purchased. Records will become available in Socrates to link to the titles, but a direct check in MyiLibrary is best for showing the most complete available content.

Note that the MyiLibrary Web environment also serves to highlight titles that are not necessarily purchased by Stanford. "My Content" links are key for focusing on content owned by Stanford. MyiLibrary has announced a major interface revision for this fall.

The services and content provided by MyiLibrary are a major expansion of SULAIR's initiatives with e-books; other e-book services are listed on SULAIR's E-Books and E-Texts page.
