Safari Books Online Adds Bite-Sized Digital Learning Guides

Safari Books Online (www.safaribooksonline.com), the on-demand digital library for technology, digital media, and business professionals, announced that in 2010 it will be adding more than 700 titles to its Short Cuts category, which is aimed at providing concentrated information that allows professionals to find new ways to solve daily problems in seconds.

To address customers' needs for quick-to-digest relevant and focused information, Safari is expanding Short Cuts by offering Elements and Shorts from FT Press Delivers, the new electronic imprint from FT Press (www.ftpress.com), an imprint of Pearson Education. Both of these additions are focused on providing business lessons and skills training from leading business executives, writers, and thinkers in short, specifically focused essays. Access to Short Cuts, including Elements and Shorts, is included at no additional cost for Safari Books Online subscribers.

Short Cuts from Safari Books Online are exclusive short-topic works produced by leading authors on subjects that are either too early in their life cycle or too specific to have entire books dedicated to the topic. Short Cuts provide deep coverage of a specific topic, usually in fewer than 100 pages. Elements are the best elements of many books that are written on a particular topic, boiled down to approximately 4-8 pages in length. Shorts are new works written about a particular topic and typically are 16-20 pages in length. Shorts are published in partnership with New Word City (www.newwordcity.com).
