We have platform contracts with Ebsco and Ebrary, mainly SUPO. We order Ebsco directly and receive MARC records from them via Worldcat. We use MARCedit to add/edit access URLS (856), etc. We order Ebrary from YBP and bring in and edit our own records from OCLC as they charge for bibs. Can't address license issues as I don't handle that, but I imagine that's addressed in the provider's platform agreement.

Dear Colleagues, we are pondering ebook firm orders for individual titles (non-PDA/DDA, not ebook publisher packages), and I would like to the wonderful collective wisdom of Acqnet to find out you all have set up are your ebook firm ordering processes. We are thinking about this in several dimensions: pilot, setup, organization, content rights / licensing issues, workflows, and long-term with regard to scaling up.
Any ideas and on-the-ground experiences are welcome - thanks very much in advance for your insights.
Thanks & Best,
