[Mla-cds] identification of new e-book titles

[Chilov, Marina]

Karen,

We've purchased Springer and Wiley frontlists in Medicine. Springer also offers Methods... monographic series as Springer Protocols apart from their e-book package. Also, we've purchased LWW titles on OVID platform. If you are interested in Public Health, Oxford Scholarship Online (OSO) offers Public Health and Epidemiology module, which is good quality titles. They also have Psychology and Neuroscience modules.

Out of what we haven't purchased, I know that Thieme and Informa Healthcare offer their books online.

A new online product on the market is Morgan and Claypool's Colloquium Digital Library of Life Sciences, which offers review type e-books in life sciences that may be useful for medical students in the first year.

Hey, Karen

We have the Springer ebooks, too. I'd say about 10% to 15% of them get good use, with another 30-40% getting any use.  The rest - well, eventually someone might want to use them, and they'll be available to them.  You can buy them individually via YBP as well as in subject packages.  Cambridge, Wiley, and Oxford also offer ebooks on their own platforms as well as via aggregators like eBrary, as you likely know.

We also buy the annual output of the Oncology Nursing Society each year, on their platform: http://www.ons.org/Publications/Books/

I can't think of anyone else offhand that you don't already have, although I highly recommend the Netter e-books on MD Consult if you don't already have them. They aren't core, so far as I know.

Karen: I would certainly recommend looking at Springer's e-books, available on the SpringerLink platform. Thanks to a group purchase by the University of Texas Digital Library, we have access to several thousand e-books published from 2005 through 2011 in various collections, including Medicine, Biomedical and Life Sciences, and Behavioral Sciences. Springer's general policy is permanent, unlimited access.

Subject: [Mla-cds] identification of new e-book titles

At Duke Medical Center Library & Archives, an increasing amount of our monographs budget is being diverted to e-books each year.  We have quite a few Stat!Ref, Rittenhouse R2 and McGraw Hill titles, as well as MDConsult core.  The market is expanding all the time, and I know there are many other packages and a la carte offerings floating around out there.  Has anyone picked up any new packages lately, or discovered any vendors who are newly publishing quality e-book titles in the fields of medicine and health science? I figured a query to medical collection development librarians might prove more useful than casting about Google.

Thanks!

Karen
