We are pleased to announce that the Benedictine Library has acquired three collections of ebooks through NetLibrary. The three collections are Contemporary Social Issues I, Green Technology & Engineering, and Management & Leadership. The choice of these collections was driven by the results of the survey sent to the Benedictine community in the Fall. These ebooks join our ever growing body of electronic resources. All the ebooks have been added to the library catalog and are currently available. If there are any additional topic areas you would like to see added to the ebook collection, please contact Luann DeGreve or cal (630) 829-6197.
