BCR Introduces New NetLibrary Electronic Book Collection

By Laura Chittivej
BCR Shared Collection Set III is a new NetLibrary e-book collection focused on the needs of academic libraries. Share access to a collection of more than 1,400 titles for a single contribution. MARC records for the Shared Collection Set III can be obtained at no additional charge. The cost of these records is included in your NetLibrary content support fee. Your institution holdings will also be set.

BCR Shared Collection Set III is a one-time monographic purchase; this is not a subscription. Interested libraries are encouraged to submit the online order form as soon as possible.

Activation of the collection will be determined by the number of participating libraries that commit to the collection by the response date of June 15. BCR will not be able to purchase the collection if the total amount of funds collected is insufficient to cover the cost of the proposed collection.

Current BCR NetLibrary collection participants may omit ISP provider, technical support and IP range information on the online form, unless you wish to inform NetLibrary of any updates or changes.

The title list is available as an Excel spreadsheet for download. To obtain the title list, pricing or to place your order, go to www.bcr.org/reference/Netlibrary/NL-Menu.html.
