| Short Cuts | | | Concise. Thorough. Focused Content.
You have told us that you want both cutting edge tutorials on emerging technologies, and concise digital documents that show you new ways to solve daily problems. Short Cuts are your solution. Our publishers are now producing Short Cuts on technologies that are either too early in their life cycle or too specific to have entire books dedicated to the topic.
Short Cuts will provide concise, thorough coverage of a specific topic, usually in fewer than 100 pages, and are well-suited for a more dynamic authoring model where the information can be extremely fresh and up-to-date. But like our books, Short Cuts are still editorially vetted and held up to our publishers' high standards.
Short Cuts are another example of an important trend you're probably noticing here at Safari to expand the service beyond books. The Safari publishers are committed to providing content that is timely and appropriate for our users, and we realize this kind of material often doesn't make it into a printed book as quickly as you need to learn about it, or at all in some cases. That's why Safari is embracing new formats like Short Cuts and Rough Cuts - new products published for the online medium that is the hallmark of our service.
Access to Short Cuts will be included at no additional cost for Safari Library subscribers. For Safari Bookshelf users many Short Cuts will take up just half of a bookshelf slot.
