Access to NetLibrary eBooks is being integrated with EBSCO databases, providing eBooks and databases from a single source. NetLibrary will then be known as eBooks on EBSCOhost.
We have a preview of eBooks on EBSCOhost (for UC subscribed collection) To access a generic eBooks collection, go to the New Features area on EBSCOhost.
These key features of eBooks on EBSCOhost will enable you to:
* View the Table of Contents directly from the Result List and Detail Record
* Browse by subject, genre, etc.
* Enjoy the rich Result List with evaluative data
* Use the “search-within functionality” to search for specific terms within a book (a search will yield a list of hyperlinked pages)
* Examine documents more closely using the enhanced viewer
* Create and print your notes while viewing and reading eBooks, and save them for reference in your my EBSCOhost folder.
EBSCO has a survey for your feedback on eBooks on EBSCOhost.
Notes about the preview:
* Changes to our collection will not be reflected within the preview environment
* My EBSCOhost folder users must create a new and unique account for preview period use only. Information stored, including username, password and eBook information, will be deleted once the preview ends, or in about three months.

Thanks for this news, Deidre, there are some excellent titles here in the subscribed collection!.
But what does * ‘Changes to our collection will not be reflected within the preview environment’ actually mean?
Bronwyn
It just means that if any new titles are purchased they will not be available in the preview.
