Ebook vendor EBSCO has teamed up with Harvard Business Review Press to offer online access Harvard Business Review eBooks, the full catalog of nearly 700 business books published by HBR Press. The result is this specialized collection of more than 400 monographs, new and seminal works, and more than 150 "article compilations" from the in the HBR "Classics" and "10 Must Reads" series (highlighted in the guide Must-Reads From the Harvard Business Review).
All eBooks in this collection are available for one-click viewing (even if another VDOT employee is using the same book at the same time) in either PDF or EPUB format using any popular browser (as shown below):
In addition to viewing in the browser, library patrons also have the option for "Full Download" which allows them to "check out" and download any EBSCO eBook for "portability" for up to 365 days through the Adobe Digital Editions eBook application.
