I really felt that the Summit catalog was the most useful for my topic, though 24x7 gets a honorable mention. I liked Summit's interface the most, found it very easy to use, very clean looking. It has many types of book formats that are searchable, braille and music notes included. It has the most search options available being able to narrow languages, what type of audience, what country authors the book and more. However my main pursuit here at Clark is Computer Engineering so for future use 24x7 will be very valuable.
Hi, Doug:
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're a convert to IT Pro, it is pretty awesome for a technology ebook collection. Cannell is kind of bare bones and then Summit has many more bells and whistles, including search filters, options, etc. Summit is a great research tool that provides access to many more books then Clark owns. It's good to know about the various research options available to students as well as how to evaluate resources from the book record alone.
Cheers,
Andrea
