Safari
O’Reilly Media’s new version of Safari: O’Reilly’s Learning Platform for Higher Education is now available from ProQuest. This version of Safari features a new student experience and a new business model that provides academic institutions with easier, more affordable access for their entire student body.
'We designed the new Safari to support today's students, who expect to learn online, on their own time, and in their preferred way,' said Karen Hebert-Maccaro, O’Reilly’s chief content officer. 'No longer just an online library, Safari is a rich, full-featured learning platform. And, our revamped business model allows our higher-ed customers to give all of their students full access to Safari. We are very excited to work with ProQuest, our exclusive distributor in the academic library market, to offer this new platform to libraries around the globe.'
