Online Library for IT Professionals
If you are looking for the ultimate in an online reference library for today's IT professional, then look no further than http://safari.informit.com. The site is a joint venture between O'Reilly and Associates and The Pearson Technology Group. Because it is publisher backed, Safari gives users first hand access to more than 1,500 of the latest and greatest titles in the technology arena (90% of the titles in the library have been published since 2000). The easily navigated site allows you to conduct searches across all of the technical books in the library. You can read the books from cover to cover or simply flip to the page you need.
Browsing books by category or finding any topic is a snap - you can highlight material, annotate selections, store these items to your own bookshelf for future reference, even cut and paste code from the books online (avoiding programming errors in the process!). Imagine having access to a 1,500 book library and then add the convenience of electronic access tools and you quickly realize the power of this one-stop resource.
Ask your technology workers how much time they spend searching for answers. The timesavings of this efficient resource site will quickly justify the cost of a subscription. The fees for an individual user start at less than $20 per month and give you full access to every book in the library. You can register as an individual and try the site out for 14 days free - or register your company and try the site for 30 days.
