Take advantage of an excellent NAR service: The Realtor.org Virtual Library. I wasn't aware of the Virtual Library until I received the December 2008 Realtor.org Essentials newsletter. Frankly, I'm amazed at the number of titles and the diversity of the subjects included in the library.
In order to find the Library, go to the NAR website, sign-in and then click on the Education section. Then find the eBooks Collection which is listed on the right hand side of the page listed under "IN THE LIBRARY." You will then come to the following:
Then the fun begins. Choose from subjects such as Personal Growth, Management & Leadership, Foreign Languages, Technology and much, much more. Just pick a book or subject you'd like to check-out, select it and you will be given choices on how to receive the book and how long you may use it. For example: If you wanted to check out Brian Tracy's book "Goals," you would find it under the Personal Growth section.
You then add it to your book bag where you can then check the volume out. If the book is already checked out, you can reserve it, as with a regular library. You will receive notice via email when it is available. Books can be checked out for 7-21 days. What's really cool is that some volumes can be downloaded into your iPod, or burned to disc. You are required to remove the book from these media once your check out term has expired, so please be honest. After all, you are a Realtor (c).......
Sometimes, we wonder if the NAR actually provides us with valuable services. Well, if you checked out 1 book a month (value $25.00 retail), that's a $300 value. Not only that, but you will add value to yourself and your business by doing so.
