I prefer Follett.  I have Destiny as our OPAC and the integration of materials is seamless. The MARC record matches perfectly and the OPAC indicates eBook or print.  I use other products and they are easy too, but you need to link to the website and use a website or you tech department needs to set up an IP exchange.  I am not certain if there is a way to make Gale integrate as seamlessly into the catalog.

Mason Crest just had a great deal.  They gave you a hard copy with you eBook collection for free.    They had a great selection.  I like to use both.  Joan

Subject: [CASL-L] virtual reference collection

We are looking at building a virtual reference library to replace outdated materials and increase access. We do have some e-books from Follett that offer unlimited access, but are also looking at the Gale Virtual Reference Library collection. This would be a sizable financial investment for us.



Does anyone have any experience with this?



Thanks for your help,
