Interactive online books now available through TechPort training courses

Information Technology Systems and Services (ITSS) has added a service this year that will make thousands of online technology books available around the clock to those who enroll in TechPort online training courses. The resource, called "Books24x7," includes unabridged books that are searchable and can be bookmarked.

Books24x7 was initially used by 100 technical support staff last year, and after an enthusiastic response, ITSS decided to bundle the feature with TechPort access this fall. TechPort is the remote site where registered users can take more than 1,000 online technology training courses—self-paced, with 24-hour access on topics ranging from the Windows desktop to advanced programming languages.

An "Early Bird" special price just for the month of September is $145, which covers access to courses and books through Aug. 31, 2006. The price goes up to $175 in October. STAP funds apply, and a SUNet ID and a Windows computer are required. For more information about the courses and registration instructions, go to http://techport.stanford.edu or contact Leni Silberman in Technology Training Services at lenis@stanford.edu.
