Books on Demand

The article focuses on website Books24x7, which offers a large assortment of business books in full text. The user homepage offers a variety of search options. First, one can enter a subject. Then, one can select whether one wants to perform a full-text search of books or a catalogue search returning only title, author, publisher, and ISBN. Finally, one can decide on the collections that one wants to search. Through a partnership with Soundview Executive Book Summaries, the site now offers a service that performs a triage on new business books. Soundview screens a large number of the business books each year and recommends a small number of them, providing summaries of each selected book and of each chapter in the book.
