The library's subscription to Safari Books Online is indeed a very cool thing, and until a few days ago was a nice little secret. :-) Hundreds of O'Reilly titles online and free.

Now that the word is out, I'm getting intermittent "Session Unavailable" errors. "You are seeing this message due to one of the following conditions: ... Your system has a limited number of sessions and there are currently no sessions available. You can try logging in again. You will succeed if a session is available."

I ran into a similar problem way back in July of '06. A librarian explained: "I checked with our E-Content Team. Our license for Safari Tech Books Online is for 3 concurrent users." D'oh.

Please stop using Safari Books Online so I can have it all to myself. I kid. But if people run into the same problem, you might want to contact the library and let them know. If there's enough interest, they might increase the subscription level.
