Naturally, the site also offers e-books by Gettman and Macann. Nickole Brown, SB's director of marketing, told PW the site is funded by a Lila Wallace-Reader's Digest grant and provides teaching aids, author interviews, readers' guides and message boards for students of composition, writing and contemporary literature. According to Brown, there are 13 universities participating and the site has averaged 800 visitors a month since its debut in September. Professors who adopt an SB title receive password-protected access to the site. Brown also helps with Web anxiety.
Some professors are still a bit Internet wary.
