Students, staff and faculty at York University now have access to electronic books from Books 24X7 and also the ExecSummaries. All the books are listed in the York University Libraries catalogue but you can also check out what's available by typing - books 24X7 - in the title quick search box on the YUL homepage https://www.library.yorku.ca You may select Business Pro or Finance Pro or ExecSummaries (these are the approx. 7 page summaries of a variety of professional and popular business and economics books). We also have Engineering Pro and IT Pro available. You will be requested to login using your Passport York account or your YU Card ID and library PIN even though you have already connected via the proxy server login.

Depending upon your selection you will have online access to books on marketing, finance, ethics, international business, corporate case studies, management, investing, risk management and more. However, you may not print more than a few pages or you will lose access privileges. These books are meant to be read online and not copied for your collection.

Because the ExecSummaries are synopses and key points and not the entire work, you can download or print the entire summary and you can also download it onto your mp3. Sometimes in addition to the ExecSummary we also have the full-text of the book available in either Business Pro or Finance Pro so it's worth checking in both places.

We hope you enjoy this new service and would love to hear what you think about it.
