Of the other four, they are limited concurrent user titles. So, perfect, we can tell the faculty member they can start using those or plan on using those in the upcoming semester. To do so, we could sort by copies, or even better, we could click the access model filter, where we quickly see that six titles are unlimited users. We want to see what the concurrent user level is for these titles to determine whether or not we would want to place some of them on e-reserves and apply custom download settings. Now, let's go back to the 10 titles that are in our collection. For example, maybe acquiring print copies via GOBI. And then, there is one item that is neither in our EBSCO eBook holdings, nor available to acquire as an EBSCO eBook, but we do provide you with that ISBN, so you can consider potential alternative sources for this title. We can see that of these two titles, one is not in our collection, but it is available to be acquired as an EBSCO eBook, so we could consider doing so and we could even get it as an unlimited user DRM-free title, perfect. So, let's take a quick look at the two items that are not in our EBSCO eBook collection first. After doing so, we quickly see that 10 of the titles are already in our EBSCO eBook holdings, and two items, two of the titles are not. After clicking on the eBook Manager tab within ECM, EBSCOhost Collection Manager, we can click on ISBN search, taking the 12 ISBNs from the faculty member and pasting them into the search box here, or uploading a CSV file. In this brief video, I'm going to show you how quick and easy it is to use EBSCO eBook Manager to identify EBSCO eBooks that can be used in courses and how they can be placed on e-reserve where needed using the My List functionality within eBook Manager, and we'll take a very simple example here.Īssume a faculty member comes to you with a list of 12 titles she plans to use as required course material for the upcoming semester, and she wants to see if the library already has or can get any of these titles. Of the many ways your library is important to your institution, to your faculty, researchers and students, one way in particular is ensuring e-books in your library's collection can be used in courses. Hi, I'm Scott Wasinger, Vice President eBooks at EBSCO, and I'm happy to speak with you today about EBSCO eBook Manager, and specifically the list functionality within eBook Manager.
