As you may already know, our ebook collections will be hosted by Ebsco starting on or about July 1, 2011.
There will be a couple of changes due to Ebsco buying NetLibrary. One difference is our students will be access the ebooks through the EbscoHost interface instead of the stand alone NetLibrary ebook interface. They should also still have access through our catalog records. An even bigger difference is the single user restriction appears to be gone. I just opened the same ebook on two different computers.
Here is a link if to the preview of the service. Oncampus link to preview of eBooks in EbscoHost
Please email me if you would like the link to access this preview from off campus.
Note that eBooks are an additional 'database' in EbscoHost. As such, currently you must use the Choose Databases link to search that database. Do we want to make it one of the default databases after the change in July?
