Subject:  Question about eBook purchase through ebrary and YBP

We purchase indivdual e-book titles through YBP and through Coutts. We 
receive MARC records for these titles which we load into our catalogue 
with the URL. The workflow is straight forward and not really any 
different than a print book except you have no physical to process. 
Rosina, call me if you have anything you want to discuss

Subject: Question about eBook purchase through ebrary and YBP

Hi Everyone,

I am studying the purchase of individual ebooks through our vendor 
(YBP). I wonder if you have any experience with it.  I would also like 
to know the difference in
workload and resources required by purchasing individual titles vs. 
subscribing in aggregation.

Any information would help,
Thanks,
Rosina
