If we could ever afford a comprehensive "discovery" tool/service, that would provide another level of visibility for the e-books.  Maybe some day the price will come down out of the stratosphere.

Subject: [SERIALST] Providing access to e-books

*Please excuse cross posting*

 

We are currently discussing how to best make e-books discoverable to our patrons and I am seeking information about how other academic libraries are providing access to e-books via their web presence.  Are libraries making e-books accessible from anywhere other than the OPAC?   

 

Thanks in advance for providing any feedback from your experience.

 

 

Sincerely,
