Thank you, I've already got my "card". No email, however. And just a question, how do you find ebooks in this web?
Edited: Forget my question, I found the "eresources page". Last edited by Terisa de morgan; 01-23-2011 at 01:07 PM. |

Yes, it's free and in less than 5 minutes, you can up and running. Here are a couple of shots of the sign up screen:

I looked at the site the other day, but originally I was in another section that said there was a fee of something like $40 for foreigners. Then I found the section you're referring to that asked for the passport number, but I hesitated and didn't sign up. Still not sure how I feel about it.

National Library of Singapore offers 16,841 ebooks. That's a very generous amount. However, only 2553 are epubs and 1049 of them are fiction titles.
5953 are PDF fiction titles. Foreigners have registration and annual fees to borrow physical items. Registration does say eResource access in library only so it's possible it may be a temporary account. |

Maybe not temporary but restricted? If I try to access the NLB eResources, it asks me to log in (which I do with the Username and Password I used to open the account) but everything I click on gives me this message: "You can access this eResource at the library only." But I can access and borrow from the Digital Catalogue (where I log in with the FIN# [passport # used] and Username).
