What do I need to do to get started?
The first thing a library will need to do is fill out a Technical Profile Form and Perpetual Access Ordering Agreement. Ebrary needs this to set up the library channel which gives access to the ebrary titles. Once the form is filled out, e-mail, fax or mail to Ashley White. This form also needs to be filled out if a library would like a 30 day free trial.
