Two Centuries Later, The Annual Register Is an Ebook
The 253rd edition of ProQuest’s Annual Register is now available as an ebook through ebrary, making this classic reference to world events as mobile as a smartphone. For more than 2 centuries, The Annual Register has been a “go-to” for librarians who value its year-by-year record of both major and minor world events, with text hearty enough to satisfy serious researchers and straightforward enough to answer a general query. The complete archive of the reference became available as an online tool through ProQuest in 2007, enabling researchers to scan the full text of every edition in a single search. Now ebrary, a business unit of ProQuest, will enable libraries to make contents of the past 10 editions available as ebooks, supported by its rich features and functionality, such as notes, highlights, and shareable bookshelves.The Annual Register can be ordered as an individual ebook—through perpetual archive and patron driven acquisition models—or as part of the most scholarly Academic Complete subscription collection. As an ebook, The Annual Register will not only be accessible on any web-enabled device, but it will go mobile via ebrary’s dedicated iOS and Android apps. In addition to its electronic versions, The Annual Register is also available in its traditional hardcover format. Source: ProQuest
