O'Reilly Safari Learning Platform
O'Reilly Safari Learning Platform (also referred to as Safari Books Online) provides over 30,000 electronic books in computer science, information technology, and related subjects from two major publishers, O'Reilly & Associates and Pearson Technology Associates. For access, O'Reilly Safari is unique: unlike other e-book collections at UD, Safari does not rely on your campus-wide credentials for access; instead, users are only required to provide their UD email. Note that the Safari interface can prove confusing for initial access, so please follow the steps below to gain access. Also included on this page is an overview of how to access individual e-books within this vast collection.
