Students researching their Graduate School options have a new resource to look to this year. Gradschools.com (http://www.gradschools.com) is now on-line and fully functional. To add to the excitement, Gradschools.com is offering a sweepstakes where one lucky student will win free textbooks for one semester. Users can enter the sweepstakes on-line.

Gradschools.com has quickly become one of the most popular and useful directories of graduate school programs. The resource currently consists of more than 24,200 listings and even during the summer recess, more than 3500 prospective students per week have been visiting the website to research their graduate education options.

Gradschools.com, an advertiser supported website, is free to users and always contains the most current information available. While printed directories are generally updated once a year, with long lead times for publication, Gradschools.com is updated daily with the most current information available, including the latest e-mail addresses and telephone numbers and links to program pages.

Students can search through directories of grad school programs from around the world by choosing from more than 200 academic areas. Subjects are then subdivided by geographic region. A keyword search is also available, making it easy to perform searches for even very specialized topics.

Gradschools.com is a service of Liberty City Promotions, Inc. of Aston, PA (in suburban Philadelphia). Liberty City is a leader in Collegiate Marketing and also operates the highly popular Òstudyabroad.com,Ó which has been in existence since September 1995.

The textbook sweepstakes will run from now through the end of November. One grand prize winner, to be selected at random, will win free textbooks for one semester.
