The "Online Library" contains IBM publications and product books available in BookManager
form. The books are organized into collections and packaged on CD-ROMs or DVDs. Some collections
also contain books available in other forms such as HTML and Portable Data Format (PDF).
All the BookManager books in the Online Library can be viewed and searched electronically,
without changing them, on workstations and portable laptop PCs (running Windows, OS/2, or
DOS), host systems (running OS/390, VM, MVS, or CICS), and the AS/400 System. The same book
can be viewed at your workstation or terminal using any of the following methods:
- The IBM Softcopy Reader, which is provided at no charge with the library on the CD collections
- The IBM BookManager Library Readers for Windows, OS/2, and DOS
- The IBM BookManager READ component of OS/390
- The IBM BookManager READ licensed program for MVS or VM
- The IBM BookManager BookServer component of OS/390
- The IBM BookManager BookServer for World Wide Web licensed programs for MVS, OS/2, Windows, or AIX
- AS/400 InfoSeeker, which is provided as a part of the Operating System/400 in Version 3
and Version 4
Think of the IBM Online Library as you would think of the public library in your community.
A public library houses large numbers of books organized into a variety of collections by
subject. Each collection occupies one or more bookshelves. The bookshelves contain the books.
The public library has a librarian and tools to help you discover what is available, and find
what you want. The IBM Online Library, like your community library, also contains large numbers
of publications and product books organized into collections. But, the IBM Online Library is
not a big building or a large room; it's several little boxes of CD-ROMs or DVDs. It's not on long rows
of shelves and stacks of books; it's online. It's not up the street or down the hall; it's right
under your fingertips.
