Colleagues/ I am pleased to announce the publication and availability of my latest eProfile in _Library Hi Tech News_ Gerry McKiernan, "ebrary®: A User-Centered Digital Library of Interactive Content," _Library Hi Tech News_ 22, no. 1 (February 2005): 31-39, Self-archived at [ http://www.public.iastate.edu/~gerrymck/ebrary.pdf ] (accessed 16 February 2005). "Imagine being able to send full text and graphics documents (newspapers, magazine articles, technical manuals etc.) over electronic mail distribution networks. These documents could be viewed on any machine and any selected document could be printed locally. This capability would truly change the way information is managed. Large centrally maintained databases of documents could be accessed remotely and selectively printed remotely." John Warnock (Warnock, 1991) *** "At present, ebrary offers access to "more than 40,000 full-text books and other documents from over 180 of the world's leading academic, trade and professional publishers(corp.ebrary.com/libraries/features.jsp#010), providing full-text, searchable collections and sub-collections for all major subject areas."
