The Library may be able to purchase ebooks through our vendors (EBSCO and ProQuest). For new courses or course refreshes, these requests should come through the Integrative Learning Design (ILD) department. For additional questions please contact your ILD partner or library liaison. Ebook purchases are considered on a case-by-case basis, using the following criteria:
Is the ebook available to purchase for unlimited users? (no restrictions on how many students can read the book simultaneously)
Is there something the Library already owns or an OER that meets the need?
Is the cost prohibitive?
Does the ebook add value to the collection?
