For years, we have provided access to ebooks, via our local OPAC, by
virtue of membership in a state-wide consortium.  We are now considering
purchasing titles, not part of consortium purchases, on our own, and I'm
wondering about the pros and cons of purchasing through a library
jobber, such as YBP,  vs individual aggregators, such as ebrary,
Netlibrary, EBL, Gale, etc.

I'd like to know what others of you are doing.  Thanks, in advance, for
your insights.--Lcj
