Electronic research databases provider EBSCO Publishing, US, has released 26 new e-book subject sets. These are seen to provide libraries with a quick and convenient way to begin or expand their e-book collections.
The latest e-book subject sets span more than seven key collection areas covering arts and humanities, business and economics, IT, non-English content, personal growth and how-to, science and technology and social sciences. With these latest subject sets, particular attention was given to the personal interests of public library consumers with the addition of popular subject areas such as photography, personal finance, home computing and how-to. According to EBSCO, the extensive content in each of these subject areas provides users with a wealth of information-whether it's for the novice or expert in the subject area.
E-book subject sets are a prepackaged set of titles chosen specifically to meet the library's needs for new titles focusing on popular, in-demand topics. The collection development team of librarians and collection specialists seek to use their expertise and knowledge to create collections and subject sets for libraries. To date, EBSCO has created a total of 124 e-book subject sets, representing more than 1,880 titles. All subject sets from EBSCO include titles published within the past three years and have no duplication among current or past offerings.
EBSCOhost offers nearly 300,000 e-books and audiobooks. The company is proactively soliciting new content in key areas and approximately 5,000 new titles are expected to be added each month. EBSCO has released a preview of e-books on EBSCOhost allowing librarians and end users to see how its collection of premier e-book titles is being integrated into EBSCOhost. A full migration to the EBSCOhost platform is expected by July.
