<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">We are in a similar situation (no surprise, Colorado College and Wheaton College (IL) seem to have some similarities). I don’t have an answer for humanities or fiction ebooks,
although we have some Project Muse collections. We are contingency planning here as well and this includes all kinds of things, not just how/whether/if there is provision of physical books. Think also of ILL and how that might complicate things in terms of
disinfecting, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">One concern I have is the idea expressed here at a higher administrative level that we can just scan print books into our LMS (Schoology). The concern is not just, um, who’s
going to do that work, but copyright concerns as well. If anyone has thoughts on that aspect, it’d be good to receive them.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in">I wanted to broach the subject of campuses closing because of COVID-19 concerns, and how libraries are going to support distance learning.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in">My institution is a small residential liberal arts college. Our patrons have a preference for print books, at least for reading in depth. We are not really set up for unplanned distance learning, but here we
are. <a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.coloradocollege.edu/other/coronavirus/__;!!LEf3jpjHhfEyFKU!NP_Z3g_9dAEiNpih_n4TUQPYymllIUSlTwTY153X9WjHioQ_9zSG1jHbrt1HcGKvXFfv3w$">
https://www.coloradocollege.edu/other/coronavirus/</a> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in">So my question is, how can we fill the gap for a month or three for books? We do have a lot of ebooks, but I can’t think of anything we have for modern literature/fiction (the only fiction ebooks are in special
historical sets like Eighteenth Century Collections Online and Early English Books Online). We’re somewhat light on humanities, compared to all the science and social science e-books we get from Springer and Elsevier. Are there vendors who can serve fiction
ebooks in an EZ Proxy/single-sign on environment? Who is good for humanities e-books?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in">On a side note - we have a few Project Gutenberg titles in our catalog. I’ve just asked our lead cataloger if we can update the MARC records; at least we can have out-of-copyright full text works linked from
our catalog. This would flesh out the 1800s and early 1900s literature somewhat. We can also direct patrons to Google Books and Internet Archives.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in">On another note: There may be an increase in requests for book chapters to be scanned so that faculty can post readings to Canvas. As we are heavily reliant on student workers for Circulation, ILL, and book shelving,
there may have to be a reshuffling of library staff/librarians to handle some of this work.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
