etextbook-Bookboon.com

For free etextbooks, I selected Bookbook.com (http://bookboon.com/en/textbooks) which is a site for online textbooks that are “focused and to the point”. The site also states that the books “are all written by highly respected professors from top universities in the world and cover topics such as economics, statistics, IT, engineering and natural science.”

In terms of texts and their practical uses, I found some downloadable instructional technology texts. I am the resident “tech nerd” of my school, which is really code for “he wears a tie, glasses, and has been seen operating a computer”, and I am often called on to provide training for veteran staff members on basic programs ranging from Power Point to Word. Below are some links to books that I will be using for future training sessions.
