>Learner's Library coursepacks are only $15. Faculty can make better use
of their time -- and keep course content more current -- by building
their coursepacks in the Learner's Library. The high quality academic
journals in the Learner's Library database provide for more concise and
better focused search, even for savvy web users. Time, money and paper
will all be saved - from better searches, lower priced coursepacks and
from the ability to only print what is needed. Coursepacks prepared
with the Learner's Library cost $15 each regardless of size or usage.
This can save students $25-$50 or more per class.

>On December 1, the Learner's Library will also include "live help" -
24/7 chat access to a reference librarian to assist with queries.
Beginning December 1 Learner's Library also will be providing Students
and Faculty with access to a Virtual Research Assistant. The VRA will
assist in the preparation of coursepacks by allowing a professor to
upload his/her course outline/syllabus/teaching notes (students can do
this with the first page or two of their writings) and get back a web
page which has parsed the upload material into relevvant queries, run
those queries and saved the results.The net effect is that all of the
searching for course material in the database will have been done and
the professor needs only to click "add to coursepack" on material
he/she wants to include. Learner's Library will do the drudge work
sparing faculty and students time for reading and thinking.
