Element K Launches Versatile e-Reference Library

New e-Reference solution to address just-in-time learning needs for business and technical professionals

ROCHESTER, N.Y., Sept. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Element K(R), a provider of learning solutions and services to corporations, partners, educational institutions and government agencies, today unveiled significant enhancements to their e-Reference product offerings. The e-Reference library provides learners with anytime access to thousands of IT and Business Skills books and technical journal Articles.

e-Reference enables professionals to find the information they need whenever they choose. These online materials are an excellent performance support resource that can supplement certification exam preparation, and online or classroom courses.

"Our e-Reference library is the perfect resource for people who like to learn on their own, or who prefer to immerse themselves in detailed materials and become subject matter experts," said Rob Perrilleon, Practice Leader for e-Reference. "The books in this essential offering are well-known bestsellers from the most respected publishers, written by recognized industry experts and pioneers in their field."

Through a network of partnerships with leading publishers, Element K offers a 'best of the best' solution, drawing on collections from publishers like O'Reilly, Sam's, Que, Macromedia Press, Cisco Press, Adobe Press, Addison Wesley, Prentice-Hall, Eli Journals, and McGraw-Hill Professional. Each e-Reference is a full-text, fully searchable online copy of a printed work -- from the table of contents to the index. Moreover, Element K provides learning administrators the ability to incorporate e-Reference products into a "blended" development path, assign required materials and track usage.

"Seven years ago, Element K was the first e-Learning company to recognize the power of e-reference products and integrate them into a learning solution," stated Paul Krause, EVP of Development and Operations. "Today, we are thrilled to offer our customers even more with the highest quality brands and selection."

Several new products are now available through this offering: an end user collection covering standard desktop applications, a technical collection including thousands of full text books and technical journal articles covering all aspects of information and communications technology, a business collection of top management and professional development titles, as well as specialty collections in areas like Project Management, IT Security, Six Sigma, and more.
