EBSCO has obtained permissions from 9 leading ebook publishers to enable 22,000+ ebooks to be made freely avilable via NetLibrary. The publishers are:
• AMACOM Books
• Earthscan Ltd.
• Edward Elgar Publishing, Inc.
• Icon Group International, Inc
• IGI Global
• MIT Press
• Oxford University Press
• State University of New York Press
• World Scientific Publishing Co.
Access will be available until April 2011. Titles have been added to Serials Solutions and are findable in Summon. However, about 2,000 of the titles included in Serials Solutions are not available to us. NetLibrary indicates this with the message “This eContent is not included in your library’s collection and is unavailable for viewing.” While there will be some false hits for our users, the advantage is that we can make over 22,000 titles available.
See the New Online Resources page in Camelot for details of eBook access in MultiSearch.

Look slike a single user licence for NetLibrary. That could slow things down a bit for users. Dave C.
NetLibrary has unlimited users but each title can only be accessed by one user at a time.
