There has been a lot of talk in the press and news-boards about e books lately. With the arrival of the iPad and other tablets to the market, electronic books are highly visual lately. One of the many debates about e books are the cost, e books are digital representations of books, they aren't something you can stick on your shelf, and yet the cost the same as many paperbacks. However as a PBU student, you have the opportunity to enjoy and benefit from the immediacy of electronic books for your work, and the cost to you is part of your tuition. What is it? Ebrary Academic Complete.

Last year the Masland Library added over 40,000 electronic books to our collection. The books range from Religion to Science, from Literature to Business and everything in-between. The books available are searchable through the PBU Library Catalog and readable on your computer or mobile device. If you create an account for yourself in Ebrary you can also make notes, and highlight sections of a book as necessary.

So if you are in the market for a tablet computer, have a web enabled device, or you are longing for something to read, instead of purchasing a book through the Kindle or BNreader App, use Ebrary- it's free and wonderfully informative. Watch for more reviews of books that can be found in Ebrary!
