The electronic book hasn't quite caught up with the ubiquitous e-journal in terms of popularity or availability and it will be some time before we are reading them in bed or on the bus. However there are plenty of occasions when you need a book right now, when googling is just too random or you want something a bit more structured than what is generally found on a website. Safari Books Online is a collection of 'real books' on computing and related subjects that are just the sort of thing you might want to consult urgently or to browse at your leisure. Topics covered are
Desktop Applications (Including Word, Excel and PowerPoint)
Desktop Publishing
Computer Graphics
Networking
Programming
The full Safari package for Massey consists of 143 titles. It can be accessed from the Databases list on the Library web page or by clicking here.
Massey University Library is purchasing an increasing number of e-books to supplement our print collections. Electronic books are searchable via the Library catalogue - do a keyword search, limiting to Electronic Resources Collection.
