ebrary: Search Books On-line

================================================================

The Surf Report - vol. 59                        www.askSam.com

================================================================

Tuesday, November 29, 2005

You might have read about Google Print - the controversial

service that will let you search  the text of various published

works and will allow you read them on-line. Google wasn't the

first company to have this idea. ebrary has been offering on-line

search of in-copyright books since 1999. It's a great service,

and we provide a few details below.

We also have a few more free things this month:

  - Shakespeare's Julius Caesar in a searchable eBook.

  - the 2006 Calendar template.

  - TurboDemo Album: an application that lets you make animated

    photo albums (normally $29.95 - but free for Surf Report

    subscribers).

And because holiday sales are the trend... we have one too:

save 25% on askSam or SurfSaver if you order before Christmas.

Happy Holidays.

5) On-line Seminar: Web Publishing With askSam

Putting information on the Web does not have to be complicated.

In fact, my 9 year old daughter created the Julius Caesar

database.

If you've been considering putting information on-line, reserve

a spot at our free on-line seminar on Tuesday, Dec. 6th at

4:00 PM (Eastern time). Wade Goodman, our product manager, will

take you step-by-step through turning information into

searchable on-line databases.  

You can view the content on the Web and listen in on a phone

call. We're limited to 25 attendees. For details or to reserve a

space, email wade at:

   wade@askSam.com
