Safari Books Online gathers in one spot the output of two publishers of information technology (IT) books: O'Reilly & Associates, Inc. and The Pearson Technology Group. O'Reilly is a source for computer technologies. The Pearson Technology Group is a provider of consumer and professional computer, information technology, engineering, and reference content. Its imprints include Addison-Wesley Professional, Cisco Press, Peachpit Press, Prentice Hall PTR, New Riders, Que, and Sams. Additionally, the new portal is designed to allow users to benefit from the search wisdom of others. As users type search terms, Safari will suggest--in real time--expressions from the most popular searches other users have entered. Free trials of the Safari Tech Books Library Edition are available. Libraries can find more information online at the ProQuest website.
