MeL Minute - eBook Collection
by Borrelli, Eunice (MDE) 28 May '15

28 May '15

Hello everyone, Have you ever considered how eBooks might help with your library's collection development strategy? -- fill gaps in your collection, supplement your holdings on a trending topic (when everything you purchase seems to check out immediately and repeatedly), or provide access to those "classics" that are infrequently requested? MeL database eBooks Collection<http://galesupport.com/migeoipcheck/migeoipcheck-ebsco.php?database=EBOOK> may be a resource you can point patrons and staff to in these very situations. Over 20,000 eBooks are available at all levels - children, young adult, and adult in both fiction and nonfiction. Find a title you're interested in? Options include reading online in PDF format, EPUB or as a download to a desktop and certain devices after creating a free account. Set your preferences for how the result list will display, to run Smarttext Search, autocomplete search suggestions, page layout, interface language, and more. Find titles through the browse by category option or basic and advanced search. A search history is maintained during your active session and items to save for a future session and search alerts can be created under your free account. Detailed help is available at the ? icon. If you haven't already, give MeL database eBooks Collection<http://galesupport.com/migeoipcheck/migeoipcheck-ebsco.php?database=EBOOK> a try, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Michigan residents or Michigan library access only. MeL Minutes are brought to you by the Library of Michigan. Want more information on MeL?
