For subscribers to EBSCO's Academic eBook Collection, we have an updated subject collection spreadsheet. This will indicate if a title is in the Collection or not.
Also, if you are using ECM, the record notes whether the site owns the title from a previous purchase, or if it is in the Academic Subscription Collection.
Please email a completed Excel spreadsheet Order Form [2]to BC ELN. BC ELN / COPPUL members should respond to BC ELN.
Libraries can submit orders to BC ELN up until February 22, 2016. There is no minimum order. Access to purchased ebooks will be set-up as soon as possible after receipt of your order.
