Records for over 10,000 titles in Cambridge Books Online are now in the Catalogue. These are not tracked by Serials Solutions so titles will appear in MultiSearch but not as eBooks. They will be treated as ‘books’ with the status ‘Check Availability’. In many cases we also have print copies so when search results indicate identical titles, the eBook will be the one showing as Check Availability:
(Palgrave Connect eBooks are also treated as books and have the status Check Availability)

Whee, titles!
Wishlist-y thoughts:
Is "Check availability" only used for online titles (ebooks, ejournals, whatever)? If so, could the wording be customised to say "Online access" instead? And could Summon perhaps use this status to recognise that it should be displayed as some kind of electronic full text?

Because Serials Solutions does not have the titles for CBO within its knowledgebase, Summon is finding the titles in our Catalogue. When Summon is unable to find the information it needs to tell it that the item is available online as full text it displays ‘Check availability’ rather than the ‘Full Text Online’ status that normally displays for an eBook title.
These will only be a problem until the end of the year, when our access to these extra resources ends.

Not very user-friendly.
