I put links to all of our eBook sources, databases, iConn, easyBib, (and other sources) on Destiny's home page. Is that what others are doing? It seems to be working for us.

Subject: [CASL-L] Virtual Collection I prefer
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We are looking at building a virtual reference library to replace outdated materials and increase access.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,
