Why Are Books Updated?

In the age of printed books, information was already obsolete before a book hit the bookstores.  Today, the information revolution means you never have to rely on out of date information.  With the Versabook solution, you can download small packages of publishers’ updates from the Internet – ensuring your books always have the most recent information.

Versabook lets you check for book updates for a single book , or your entire Library.

Alternatively you can set Versabook to automatically check any books for an update.

To take advantage of the full power of Versabook’s research capabilities, you should keep only those books essential for the topic you are researching on the Research Desk. With only the essential books on the Research Desk, your searches will be faster and your results more accurate.
