[pm-h] Fw: O'Reilly UG News: Try the all new Safari Books Online - 10 days free - no charge, no strings attached!

Wed Nov 11 19:19:46 PST 2009

And remember that if you have a Harris County Public Library
card<http://www.hcpl.net/about/library-cards>you can access a portion
of the Safari Library anytime.

http://www.hcpl.net/ref/dbalpha.htm#s

I say "a portion" because HCPL only has access to "a specially-tailored
subset of 3,026 titles from Safari Books Online's overall content." Or about
1/3 of the entire catalog -- either way, for free, it aint bad in a pinch.
