New year, new eLibrary...
Last week, the all new eLibrary (details) preview was launched to the world. The initial launch sports an engaging next-gen interface, user-inspired Web tools, and new editorial context that turns searching into learning.
The new version also offers everything you already love about eLibrary -- like multimedia, 100% full-text, and instructional tools. See what it's all about with a quick tour.
Through July, current subscribers can choose to remain on the old interface or move to the new eLibrary.
You can access the new eLibrary via a link at the top of your main eLibrary search screen; or by authenticating via the appropriate link (URL list).
Additional capabilities will be rolled our into your subscription in the coming weeks and months. Keep reading your eLibrary newsletter, or sign up for our new update email newsletter to get more frequest reports. An initial printable flyer and access icons are also now available.
Welcome to the next-generation eLibrary!

New eLibrary Essential Collections: Live
Have you clicked the banner in eLibrary (or used a direct URL) to take the new version for a spin? If so, you may have noticed one of the most useful additions--the new Essential Collections, or special pages.
Essential Collections combine eLibrary's 65 million documents with editorially-prepared content on top queried and studied topics. Our editors bring best-of material "above the fold" that helps students understand the context of a topic and discover pathways for further exploration.
This means what users need first, they see first--so they spend less time searching and more time learning!
Below is a short list of current Essential Collections (view all), live in our preview or in process for launch very soon. Conduct a keyword search on each item, and the collection will appear at the top of the search results:
- Adoption
- Animal Testing
