R2 Library: A Review

Pages 430-440 | Published online: 22 Nov 2011
 

Abstract

R2 Library is an e-book platform from Rittenhouse Book Distributors. Its titles are not publisher-specific, and there is overlap with other e-book providers. R2 can be searched as a database, and resources (titles) may be directly accessed from an OPAC search. This review will cover administrative set-up and tools; end-user searching and browsing; and personalization tools for the platform. Also covered will be navigation, site structure, and any special features. Information regarding Rittenhouse's model for cost and access will be discussed.
