Electronic research databases provider EBSCO Publishing (EBSCO), US, has announced that corporate libraries will soon be able to maximise the value of their eBook collection as EBSCO transitions its eBook titles into EBSCOhost. Available in July 2011, eBooks on EBSCOhost will enable corporations worldwide to make their eBooks and corporate research solutions more accessible to researchers while also providing a more comprehensive and powerful search experience to researchers.
eBooks on EBSCOhost's functionality is based upon the EBSCOhost search experience familiar to users worldwide. Corporate workflow will be enhanced with the ability to search eBooks alongside other EBSCO resources via EBSCOhost, learning management systems (LMS) and other corporate portals. EBSCO offers Featured Collections geared toward corporate libraries and are created by EBSCO's collection development team.
EBSCO will offer various purchase models including a one-user, three-user, or unlimited-user model. EBSCO will also offer a lease model, where libraries can acquire titles for a short period of time for a fraction of the list price. In addition, a Patron Driven Acquisition purchasing model will also be available to libraries for purchase and lease models. Libraries can create a specific list of titles for purchase, or develop a profile for title inclusion, and titles will be purchased based on patron usage activities.
eBooks on EBSCOhost may be integrated into corporate portals and Intranets as well as LMS. The EBSCOhost Integration Toolkit allows EBSCO's content to be incorporated into an organisation's workflow - providing seamless access to premium content.
