[Eril-l] tool to identify overlapping ebook collections

[Collier, Nichole]

Gold Rush is supposed to add e-books to their database comparisons, right now it’s only journals.  It’s a subscription service that we use.

I also use CUFTS for journal comparison, again no e-books (this is free)

The Academic Database Assessment Tool only compares features not titles.

Otherwise I do not know of any way to compare e-book packages by title.

We use the Serials Solutions/Proquest overlap analysis tool for journals but it doesn't work for ebooks. Thanks for the link to “Academic Database Assessment Tool” (http://adat.crl.edu/ebooks).   I chose 3 of the 9 platforms but I only see features being compared, not overlap of titles included.

Hi Lois,

if your link resolver supports overlap analysis this might be a good starting point for this case. Otherwise the “Academic Database Assessment Tool” (http://adat.crl.edu/ebooks) would be helpful. It supports the comparison of 9 eBook Platforms, but I’ am not sure about the up-to-dateness of the data.
