A report is now available that lists electronic books which have unlimited access, meaning that Library staff can use them to learn about ebooks, and test their functionality, without using up limited annual allocations. The report includes a direct link to the resource, but it is also useful to practice searching for the title on the catalogue, or via Multisearch (Summon) to see how users are likely to find and link to such books.
This report is linked from the Horizon Reports page on Camelot, under the Collection Services heading.
A reminder too about the second training session for staff about ebooks, planned for 11am on Thursday 29 April. There are a few places left, but you can sign up on the waiting list and still turn up.

What is the annual access allocation for limited access e-books or does it differ from title to title?

325 lending days for EBL e-books purchased under the non-linear lending model. We cover this in more detail in the training. The title with the most lending days so far is ‘Boundary layer climates’ with 63 lending days so far. It will automatically refresh with a new 325 loan days on 28/9/10. Tim
