Book Description
This work skeptically explores the notion that the internet will soon obviate any need for traditional print-based academic libraries. It makes a case for the library's staying power in the face of technological advancements (television, microfilm, and CD-ROM's were all once predicted as the contemporary library's heir-apparent), and devotes individual chapters to the pitfalls and prevarications of popular search engines, e-books, and the mass digitization of traditional print material.

There’s a mother lode of romance and adventure as two fiery souls find something more valuable than gold in the paradise of New Zealand. It’s 1866, and the West Coast Gold Rush is bringing a flood of fortune hunters to New Zealand. But Lady Guinevere Stanhope has come not for gold but for fauna, determined to carry on her father’s dream of capturing the rarest of wildlife on film, which could be quite valuable scientifically . . . and perhaps financially. Quinn O’Donnell dreams only of striking gold. Driven out of his native Ireland, his fierce pride makes him loath to help any English person, let alone a lady as haughty and obstinate as Guinevere. But when she’s caught in a flash flood, Quinn is forced by his conscience to rescue her. Bound by chance in a dangerous land, the pair share an unlikely alliance—which slowly grows into a passionate treasure that neither can ignore . . . or resist.

Book Description
Book your ticket to Magic Island, where the potions are brewed fresh daily, the beaches are perfect for creature-watching, and the fangs and fur are on full display. The last murder Wren Winters investigated ended in disaster, leaving a killer free to roam the streets and the witch-in-training desperate for a fresh start. Vowing to never wear her detective cap again, Wren is eager to turn her attention to more pressing matters, like trying to wrangle her out-of-control magic while keeping her secret—and her life—safe. And if she can figure out a way to capture the man in black’s affections once and for all? So much the better. Bodies seem to follow Wren wherever she roams, though, and it isn’t long before yet another turns up… and this time, a close friend’s innocence is in question. Before she can even open up her trusty notebook, Wren is plonked down into the middle of a murder mystery once again, and this time, she’s on a hunt to discover the truth behind a mythical rainbow… and the endless riches promised to those who find it. But, like every other promise that seems too good to be true, sometimes all that glitters isn’t gold. Author's Note: Each book includes a self-contained mystery, but there are longer, ongoing subplots that continue throughout the series.
