Author: Diana Petrowicz
In line with PÕ¾ÊÓƵ’s expanding efforts to provide centralized resources across products for librarians, we are pleased to announce the new image library website, , is now live and is a resource for finding and downloading product cover thumbnail images for books, book series, journals and issues. This image library is free and a service intended to ease customers looking to find, download and share cover thumbnails images to use in catalogs, promotion and awareness purposes.
The new image library website replaced the deprecated FTP Location. The new image library will continue to be fed by the DDS (Data Delivery System) on a daily basis and provides access to both TIF files and smaller JPGs for each cover across these available products: book series, books, journals and issues.
