Bush Library uses several content providers to serve up access to our electronic book content.

NetLibrary
Our largest provider of e-book content is netLibrary. Our collection consists of more than 15,000 books on a variety of academic and popular topics. Many of these books were purchased for Minnesota's libraries by the Minitex Library Information Network; the remainder were purchased either by the CLIC consortium or by Bush Library. Most of these books, like the print books in our consortium's library collections, are shared among the CLIC libraries.
