Why not start getting used to the new platform ebook reading/viewing now, so it won't be such a shock in July when it changes for real? Go ahead, click the giant Preview banner on the NetLibrary site now.
What's so great about it?
- Enhanced eBook viewer
- Improved research tools (folder, citation exports, powerful EBSCOhost features)
- Narrow search result list by subjects, categories, authors, and more
- Enhanced notes feature
What ELSE will be different?
Patrons will need NEW EBSCO eBook accounts!
Since our move to III, a "free NetLibrary account" is no longer required to read eBooks online--only needed for downloadable titles.
So we'll be alerting current NetLibrary patrons that they will need to save their personal account content (notes on eBooks, lists of eBooks they may have saved) somewhere safe, before the transition takes place. After the transition to EBSCOhost, users will be able to set up their own My EBSCOhost accounts for saving and managing our collection of eBooks.
Finally, the records in the catalog will connect to the eBook title on the new EBSCO platform, which is good news.
Questions? let me know!
