The BSC Library is pleased to announce an expansion of our electronic book collection. We have offered e-books for several years, and have made two substantial additions recently. Our collections include:
EBSCO eBooks (formerly known as NetLibrary) - around 50,000 e-books, including many academic titles published within the last 15 years. A number of the more recent titles are listed in and accessible from the library catalog; all are accessible through EBSCO's newly developed eBooks database.
ebrary Academic Complete - a subscription database of approximately 70,000 academic e-books in a variety of subject areas, primarily from 2000 to the present. None of these books are listed in the library catalog; rather, they must be accessed through the ebrary database.
Springer eBooks - a collection of 700 English-language e-books in the areas of business & economics, biomedical & life sciences, and behavioral sciences, published in 2011. All of these titles are listed in and linked to from the library catalog (which is the best point of access for them).
We have also completed a library guide explaining the ins and outs of these three e-book collections (their search pages, software requirements, viewing options, and check-out conventions), plus a few others we have access to. The guide is available at http://libguides.bsc.edu/ebooks. We welcome your questions and comments, as well as suggestions for additional freely available e-book collections to include in the last section of the guide.
