EBSCO Publishing Releases New Ebook Subject Sets

These additional subject sets reflect the rapid growth of EBSCO’s ebook collection offered to libraries in convenient collections grouped by subject matter.Subject sets allow for quick and easy purchases in particular high-interest subject areas. Customer feedback played a large role in the development of some of the latest subject sets. Requests for particular subject areas prompted EBSCO to create many of the subject sets available in this September release. All of the subject sets were developed by a team of librarian collection development specialists. Nine key collection areas were increased including: Arts & Humanities, Business, Information Technology, Medical, Personal Growth & General Education, Science & Technology, Social & Cultural Issues, Social Sciences, and Vocational Education. The new subject sets provide an extensive array of subject matter including American History, leadership & management, LGBT, social networking, nursing, and teacher resources.
