I hope to see more if this in the future, thanks.

]]> Comment on Elsevier E-Textbooks (Medicine) : Trial by Lee Sharkey http://www.lib.cam.ac.uk/eresourcesblog/?p=665&cpage=1#comment-226 Lee Sharkey Sat, 04 Feb 2012 16:08:43 +0000 http://www.lib.cam.ac.uk/eresourcesblog/?p=665#comment-226 This is a brilliant addition to the Cambridge library service, one which I have been hoping for since I discovered for myself the utility of eTextbooks, and one which I hope is here to stay and to be expanded upon. In an age of ever-increasing digitisation, it is regrettable that the way in which the use of books is changing; an eBook doesn't quite have the personality of a physical one. However, I think that to keep with the changes, this modernisation of the Cambridge library service is definitely a step in the right direction. I have found the addition of Guyton and Hall's 'Medical Physiology' extremely useful, and would love to see more like this! I do have to say, though, that whatever program that is used to support the book it not very user-friendly. A format closer to pdf would be more effective.

Is there an easier way to find a list? Also we had someone at Classics trying to access a book via Cambridge Books online and she was asked for a username and password (as was I). So assume we do not subscribe. how do we get a subscription? Do we just submit a normal ebook request? In other words are the titles bought individually rather than in a package, thanks.
