Patron-Driven Acquisitions: History and Best Practices
Edited by David A. Swords
Released by De Gruyter at Frankfurt Book Fair last week, and already named ‘Book of the Week’ by Against the Grain, this book is a must read for librarians and publishers alike. With contributions from well-respected industry leaders - Rick Lugg, Bob Nardini, Michael Levine-Clark, Kari Paulson, Rex Steiner and Ron Berry, Tom Corbett, Sue Polanka and Emilie Delquie, Doug Way and Julie Garrison, Dennis Dillon, and David Swords – this book provides excellent, thought-provoking discussion and analysis of the increasingly popular acquisition model. We highly recommend this book!
EBL is pleased to offer seven outstanding new collections from Ashgate & Gower*. Exclusive to EBL, these packages represent a well-rounded selection of titles across several popular subject areas. Libraries purchasing these collections will save 30% off the total individual list price.
*There is currently no expiry date on this offer. Libraries wishing to purchase any of these collections may either do so directly in EBL acquisition catalogue or by contacting EBL support – support@eblib.com.
Please note: We will be able to honour this offer for libraries who have already purchased some titles from the collection and wish to purchase the remaining titles at discount (so long as the total number already purchased does not exceed 30% of the list).
