Purchasing online access for print high demand titles

Given recent developments, we thought we should roll this list out again (previous Counterculture post).   Theoretically I have filtered off everything where staff previously asked LAC to purchase.

Could subject librarians/high demand staff please eyeball the list and mark anything you anticipate being in demand for online teaching and that LAC should purchase.

This list is based on a comparison EBSCO did for us where they matched eBook availability on GOBI.  In situations where EBSCO did not find a match, but where high demand print items are now needed online please email the details to acquisitions@libr.canterbury.ac.nz. We will ascertain availability on a case by case basis to see if any more can be purchased online.  Note some publishers don’t play very nicely with libraries when it comes to online access (Cengage, Pearson to mention a couple) but sometimes we can get 3 user access via ProQuest or EBSCO in those cases.

Scanning from print is also an option, but within the CLNZ licence provisions.
