All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you; the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse, and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was. -- Ernest Hemingway

• "WHAT HAPPENED TO THE eBOOKS?" *11/10/2008*
  In order to improve the speed/reliability of our online catalog, we have removed almost 30,000 records for the eBooks that are available from netLibrary through the TexShare Database program. (Please note that this refers only the records for eBooks, and not eAudiobooks).
  
  This does not mean that the eBooks are no longer available. You can still access them through netLibrary; you will just need to search for them directly at their site.
  
  We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
