The transition of netLibrary ebooks to the EBSCO ebook platform is complete. Catalog links to netLibrary ebooks and the database link to the netLibrary collection are now correctly pointing to EBSCO ebooks.

As always, if you notice any kind of problem please let us know.

netLibrary access

Today, Thursday, July 21 2011, is the day that access to our netLibrary ebooks is being transitioned from the netLibrary interface to the EBSCO interface. Interruptions to access are likely as this transition occurs. Our vendors intend to minimize these interruptions, but they will not be avoided altogether. We expect access to the EBSCO ebook platform to be functioning normally at the start of next week.
