User Features
The Books24x7 On Demand platform employs a clear and easy to navigate user interface. The user home page offers customization and includes everything needed to find and organize content.
Patented Search Engine provides quick retrieval of relevant content
Our search engine searches the entire repository of content to retrieve not only the most pertinent titles, but links to the most relevant sections. Sophisticated search algorithms understand the structure of the content to ensure the relevancy of results retrieved. Together with advanced search features, users are guided to titles that are most connected to their search statement, thus eliminating time spent sorting through false hits.
Personal Folders for organizing titles of interest
By creating personal folders, users can organize titles of interest by topic, project or other preference for quick retrieval.
Bookmarks and Notes enable fast access and personal reference
Users can add bookmarks to track their location or to return to sections that they consult repeatedly. Notes can be added at the title and paragraph level to provide personal reference when needed.
Collaboration links to share content of interest
The collaboration feature easily allows users to share content with colleagues who have similar interests, job functions or who are part of a project team.
Recommendations enable users to recommend any title
Recommendations provide end-users with an improved experience by enabling them to recommend any title via a simple Yes/No vote. Users can quickly review their recommended titles as well as recommendations from the overall community and company peers.
Access from mobile devices delivers information while on-the-go
Optimized for viewing on internet-enabled cell phones and other mobile devices, Books24x7 On The Go™ enables users to access the Books24x7 web site while on the move. With this mobile site users have access to the full content and functionality of the Books24x7 platform, including powerful search and browse capabilities, complete site and content navigation and personal and corporate folders. Users can bookmark, add notes and add titles to their existing personal folders, enabling them to organize particularly useful and relevant content.
Portable content lets users take the reading with them
Convenient options give users the ability to access content while away from their computer. By being able to take the reading with them, users can take greater advantage of offline times such as their daily transit commute, business travel, while exercising at the gym or other downtime.
Chapters to Go™, a premium content feature, enables users to download chapter PDF files and Kindle-ready mobi, including personal bookmarks and notes, for offline reading. Chapters to Go is an ideal option for users who repeatedly return to a specific chapter for information. Chapters to Go is an optional premium feature offered on a collection-by-collection basis or across your entire collection portfolio.
Additionally, select collections offer downloads that are included in the subscription cost. These downloads options include flash files for video and Kindle-ready mobi, MP3 for audio and PDF for print.
Transferable equations and tables simplify data manipulation
Unique features enable users to simply and easily transfer complex data found in Books24x7 titles to professional desktop applications for data manipulation. Without having to reenter the information, users save time and avoid mistakes as a result of spelling and data entry errors.
LiveEquations® utilizes MathML, a standard mathematical expression markup language that describes equations. This allows users to transfer equations, commonly found in technical books, into any of several mathematical analysis packages, including Mathematica® and Maple™, for data manipulation.
With LiveTables™, users can download any table into the most commonly used spreadsheet applications for personal manipulation and use. With the data in spreadsheet format, it can be sorted, formatted, charted or otherwise managed by Excel features.
New Title Notices keep informed of new content added
Since new content is added weekly, email notices or RSS feeds can help users stay apprised the latest additions. These announcements can be tailored to include only content that is of specific interest.
