E-book trial

For the next two weeks we have trial access to a couple of collections from Palgrave Connect, a new e-book platform on which can be seen electronic books published by Palgrave McMillan. We have access to the 14 titles in the Economics and Finance 2009, and the 110 titles in the Literature and Performing Arts collection 2007. Your humble author was disappointed to note that 'Excrement in the Middle Ages' forms part of the Literature and Performing Arts 2008 collection. Unfortunately I am unable to post a list of titles and I'm not sure whether this is due to a limitation on my part or that of blogger.com. If you want to see what titles are available, go to the advanced search page and select either 'Economics and Finance 2009' or 'Literature and Performing Arts 2007' in the Collection search box, then click submit. If I've got it right, then this is the Literature and Performing Arts Collection and this is the Economics and Finance Collection

Looking at the ebooks, your options are pretty similar to what is available in Dawsonera. You can browse books online or you can download them. Unlike Dawsonera, there does not seem to be a restriction on how long you are able to look at downloaded books. Printing restrictions are the same as Dawsonera by the looks of things and subject to copyright restrictions in any case.
