We have had e-library for approx. 6 months (trial period and pooled
product through ECL) and I can say honestly, that we and our patrons
think it is very useful. We were a bit skeptical about the Journals
included but have found that many college students have been able to use
the articles provided. One patron yesterday kept exclaiming about how
wonderful it was and what she information she was able to obtain. It is
a good product and very reasonably priced. It is a product that can be
used by all ages, elementary students right on up and is really taking
off in our library as people become aware of it. It is very easy to use
and we rarely have not been able to access it. Hope this helps
