Approximately 50% of the titles are social sciences (including education and business); about 30% of titles are related to the humanities.

Browsing does not have a time limit; checkouts are for two hours, and require that a free account be established. All netLibrary titles are indexed in FirstSearch. Publishers do put printing and viewing restrictions on some titles if you are viewing in browsing only. You must "check-out" such titles to receive better access to the e-book.

Wiley InterScience Full-image of more than 300 journals, citations, indexing and tables of contents for more than 100 additional titles. Confusingly, Wiley purchased and brought online Blackwell serials titles under the InterScience interface in July of 2008. This added tables of contents for an additional 1200 titles, however UTPB has no access to the full-text of these titles and these is no way to discern which titles were originally published by Wiley and thus accessible to our users and those which were published by Blackwell and are NOT accessible to our users. Wiley InterScience
WilsonSelect Plus FirstSearch; Combines indexing and full-text coverage for both popular magazine titles and academic journals; FT available for 2300+ titles; citations to more than 1.5 million articles. OCLC / Wilson
