What trends impacted your
decision to subscribe
to ebrary?
•
Students, Faculty and the Administration are always interested in electronic resources for students. As Missouri's Premier Technological University, we are constantly trying to stay ahead of the technology curve, and building our electronic book collection through ebrary has been very helpful in this regard.
What issues or problems has ebrary addressed at your library?
•
ebrary has instantly expanded our holdings in several disciplines that we do not have the luxury of being able to augment ourselves due to budgetary restrictions. Since we are primarily a science and technology campus, monograph sources in the liberal arts are especially underfunded, and the ebrary collection provides many titles in this area as well as our core collection subjects.
What do you and your patrons like best about ebrary’s technology?
•
Having the MARC records in our catalog is a huge help as it enables our patrons to access the titles through multiple angles.
Favorite feature(s)?
•
I like the ability to have the citation from which you have copy and pasted be directly pasted into the text editor that you are using to write your paper, or compile notes.
What do you and your patrons like best about ebrary’s content?
•
There is a wide variety of content available, with many in-demand titles.
How does ebrary compare to other digital resources at your library?
•
ebrary is unique in that it is the only full-text electronic book product we have with such a variety of subject coverage.
