EBSCO Publishing Releases 24 New Ebook Subject Sets
EBSCO Publishing has released 24 new eBook subject sets. The subject sets are part of a rapidly growing collection of eBooks that are offered in convenient collections grouped by subject matter.Subject sets are a prepackaged set of titles chosen specifically for their subject appeal. The collection development team of librarians and collection specialists use their expertise and knowledge to create collections and sets for libraries. Director of content collections for EBSCO Publishing Eve-Marie Miller says some of the recent collections were created with the international markets in mind. “While subject sets are always available to libraries worldwide, with this round of sets we specifically wanted to showcase some of our great content that appeals to an international audience. These new sets were developed in consultation with our international teams and are tailored to help meet the needs and interests of libraries around the world.” Subject sets from EBSCO include titles published within the past 3 years, offering timely, updated information. The subject sets have no duplication among current or past offerings. eBooks on EBSCOhost offers nearly 300,000 eBooks and audiobooks. In April EBSCO will release a preview of eBooks on EBSCOhost with a full migration to the EBSCOhost platform expected by July. Source: EBSCO Publishing
