eLibrary can be compared to a real-world library, which houses a collection of periodicals and books. Web search engines search the Web, and then direct users to other Web sites, while eLibrary quickly retrieves information from the extensive resources on its own shelves.

After entering a query, eLibrary delivers specific articles and images relevant to a user's question. With Web search engines and Web Spiders, all that is returned is a list of Web sites that must be researched and investigated further.

As in a real-world library, users of eLibrary can access a wide selection of materials from the world's most respected publishers, without being charged to use or download each item. Most professional research services on the Web (and all bookstores and newsstands) require customers to pay individual charges for the information they retrieve. At eLibrary, you can access all you need for one affordable price - as little as $6.50 per month!

With eLibrary, the doors are never locked. And, as an online resource, you can use your home computer, or any computer anywhere that is connected to the Internet, to:

• Retrieve articles from major newspapers and magazines.
• Save your favorite topics and articles for quick access.
• Receive email notification when new articles match your favorite topics.
• Access a thorough collection of encyclopedias, dictionaries, almanacs and a thesaurus.
• Search through years of photo and map archives.

The reference materials are from renowned publishers such as Archive Photos, Reuters, Simon and Schuster, Gannett, and Times Mirror. eLibrary also incorporates a host of local, ethnic and special interest publications. A sample list of the thousands of sources includes:
