• It's easier and less expensive to implement than other institutional repository or content management systems. Because the ebrary is a hosted solution, there is no need for IT staff to implement and maintain the system. And, the ebrary platform can be up and running in days.
• It features sophisticated technology that turns static PDF files into a dynamic database of documents that are fully searchable and can be cross-referenced.
• It integrates with your ILS system and other digital resources and information on the web.
• Can be used to cost effectively archive, manage and share your own digital content such as theses and dissertations, reports, historical books, manuscripts, or other proprietary documents in PDF.
• There are no bandwidth or connectivity limitations. The ebrary Reader^TM software delivers documents to an end-user's desktop page-by-page. An end-user with a 56K modem can easily access content through the ebrary platform.
• ebrary's' InfoTools allows for instant access to outside resources from the selected text in a document, such as dictionaries, maps, search engines and more. InfoTools can be customized to take advantage of your own resources like OPAC.

• All ebrary subscription databases offer simultaneous, multi-user access from any computer with Internet access.
