YBP Library Services, a leading provider of materials to academic libraries, has announced the availability of fully customisable MARC records for all titles included in Oxford Scholarship Online eBook Collections. Oxford Scholarship Online is a rapidly expanding cross-searchable library which now offers quick and easy access to the full text of 2,556 Oxford books.
Oxford University Press initially launched Oxford Scholarship Online in a subscription database in 2003, and added the perpetual purchase option in 2005. At least 450 new and recently-published books are added each year. YBP Library Services began offering Oxford Scholarship Online to its customers late last year. Now, whether one opts to purchase one, two or all of the 16 available subject collections, YBP can easily deliver cataloging for the content of those collections, including the new updates as released. This eContent Cataloging Service is expected to further enhance YBP's extensive technical service offerings to libraries and consortia.
A Baker & Taylor company, YBP Library Services provides books and supporting collection management and technical services to academic, research, and special libraries in North America and around the world. The company recently announced an agreement with Greenwood, a publishing imprint of ABC-CLIO, to act as the non-exclusive agent for the sale of Greenwood's online databases in the US. Earlier this month, publisher John Wiley & Sons, Inc. also partnered with YBP Library Services to address the growing need of libraries to discover and order book content in the format of their choice using one consolidated book-purchasing channel.
