[CASL-L] Ebook Platform

[KALUZYNSKI SARA]

I just found out that Gale Virtual Reference Library is now carrying non-reference ebooks from publishers like DK, ABDO, Cavendish.  The link to these "partner imprints" is: www.gale.com/gvrlschool. 
For instance, I just ordered a number of shorter monographs (120 pages) on controversial issues at grade 7 reading level for students below grade level.
I also like how Gale is now integrated with Google Apps, too.
I was ordering from different vendors, and although they were all in Destiny, students weren't going to them.  GVRL is one of their first stops already so it's a no-brainer for me.

I have had Follett eBooks for a while but, I found that they did not have as many titles as I wanted so I just started with OverDrive. I am adding only non-fiction titles as not a lot of fiction circulates in my library. I purchase only single use titles.

We also have the Gale Virtual Reference Shelf but, those are just reference books and they are unlimited simultaneous user titles.

Hi Everyone,

What ebook platforms/companies is everyone using for fiction as well as
nonfiction? Are most titles purchased in a single use or unlimited access
format? Is this specific to genre?
