Tip of the Month

If your library is using the ebrary platform but you have not yet customized the available links in ebrary's InfoTools, we recommend that you take a few minutes to provide us with a list of your desired links.

This will increase usage of other databases and resources owned by the library, and provide your patrons with an enriched search experience. link
