Electronic research databases provider EBSCO Publishing (EBSCO), US, has released 24 new eBook subject sets. The subject sets are part of a rapidly growing collection of eBooks that are offered in collections grouped by subject matter.
The latest eBook subject sets cover nine key collection areas. These include: arts & humanities; business and economics; hot topics and special interests; medical; non-English; personal growth and how-to; science and technology; social sciences; and vocational education.
Subject sets are a prepackaged set of titles chosen specifically for their subject appeal. The collection development team of librarians and collection specialists use their expertise and knowledge to create collections and sets for libraries. According to Eve-Marie Miller, Director of Content Collections for EBSCO Publishing, the new sets were developed in consultation with the company's international teams and are tailored to help meet the needs and interests of libraries worldwide.
Subject sets from EBSCO include titles published within the past three years, offering timely, updated information. The subject sets have no duplication among current or past offerings.
Subject sets are just one of the ways libraries can select their eBooks on EBSCOhost. Other options for content selection include custom collections and Patron Driven Acquisition. Custom collections allow libraries to work with EBSCO's collection development team to develop collections for any subject, language or content type. Patron Drive Acquisition allows libraries to establish a collection of titles for patrons based on patron usage.
