The K-State Libraries have made high-quality technology titles available through Safari Tech Books Online. Safari includes titles published in the current year and the previous two calendar years, and includes timely topics such as certification, enterprise computing, Java, Linux/Unix, web development, Windows, XML, and more.
Users can access titles through the K-State Libraries’ Catalog (catalog.lib.k-state.edu) or by browsing the Safari database (www.lib.k-state.edu/db/alpha/s.html). Access is limited to two simultaneous users, so if you are unable to get into the database, wait a minute and try again.
These e-books appear just as they would in print. Each title includes a complete table of contents with chapter links, and all charts, graphs, and images are included as originally published.
A quick reference guide with suggestions for alternatives to face-to-face lectures, homework, class discussions and more is available online at www.k-state.edu/infotech/helpdesk/contingencyplan.pdf (PDF) . The document was prepared by iTAC to assist faculty with alternatives should class disruptions occur due to the H1N1 flu virus.
K-Staters looking for a way to reduce printing costs might want to consider using Ecofont. This font style, created by the Dutch company Spranq, was designed to use less ink than other fonts — about 15 percent to 20 percent less — by placing small holes throughout the typeface.
