Ebook Academic Collection
The library this week has added 70,000 new books to our
collection—just like that! The library now has EBSCO’s Ebook Academic
collection, a new database somewhat comparable to the collection we have from
ebrary. Both subscription packages with unlimited simultaneous users and downloads
contains a large selection of multidisciplinary eBook titles representing a
broad range of academic subject matter—from Business and Science, to
Engineering and Humanities. Nearly 70,000 titles are included in this package,
and additional titles will be added to the package each month at no additional
cost. The library staff will offer instruction classes on how to use this
exciting new resource.
You can view EBSCO e-books on your mobile devices now! Popular
devices that are compatible with e-books on EBSCOhost include: Barnes & Noble Nooks. Sony Readers, Apple iPads, and many smart phones. Please contact the
library for a complete list. Instructions for downloading will be on the
library page this week.
We will be comparing this product with ebrary’s, so please share your comments in the comments
below or email me directly. In particular, we would like comments on ease of
downloading, search capabilities, on-screen display, marking, saving and
emailing capabilities, and any other feature you may consider important
You may access the Ebook Academic Subscription Collection on
or off campus from the library page in the research database section--www.goodwin.edu/library.
This is very special Applause, please!
