Library related wikis - electronic books

Electronic Books is a simple wiki created by the University of Canterbury to help the library users to access the e-books that the university has subscribed to. The wiki consists the main page which contains the instructions for searching the catalog and several pages to provide information on different methods of access the information such as subject guides and a page for the reference items. There are also a number of links to other pages on the university's website. The links to the library's catalog and the subject guides should be of particular use to users.
The notice on the wiki informing users that there are collections of e-books too extensive to include in the catalog as individual titles should help prevent irate users asking for help as often.
