Digital content products and technologies provider ebrary, US, has announced that it has launched a new ordering system with instant fulfillment and real-time collection management to help libraries more affordably and efficiently acquire, manage, and distribute e-books from the world's leading publishers.
As a leading provider of digital content services and technologies, ebrary now enables librarians to select and acquire titles under multiple models - subscription, perpetual access, and patron driven acquisition (PDA) - and make them instantly discoverable and accessible to end-users. ebrary's new ordering system also includes tools that support the acquisition workflow including fund codes, de-duplication for electronic titles, and profiles that can be created and updated by the library at any time, with automatic alerts as new titles become available.
Furthermore, ebrary now provides features that help libraries promote content and increase usage, including the ability for end-users to save their searches and receive automatic notifications when new titles are acquired by the library that match their interests. The company also now provides 'Lists', which enable librarians to select titles of interest, create and manage individual collections of their choice, and collaborate with others to evaluate and create shared collections. Librarians with an Administrative Access account may use these Lists to create orders, add titles to their collection under ebrary's new PDA model, or request quotes for subscription access to titles of their selection.
