Sno-Isle has not renewed its subscription to Safari books. Staff in Catalog Services are working to remove MARC records from the catalog for the titles we offered through this service. The link to Safari will be removed from our website shortly. The decision to drop this service was made after review of use data for Sno-Isle customers in light of a reduced materials budget, and discussions with the vendor about our ability (and lack thereof) to customize search features so our customers saw only those titles to which we had access.
In 2009, we will pilot a new e-book program through OverDrive. We are looking at offering fiction and nonfiction ebooks through our download vendor to see if our customers are interested in using this format for recreational reading. At this time, we do not have a collection in place but we are hoping to initiate the service in the very near future.
