<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Diane,<br>
<br>
Two suggestions for humanities/social sciences ebooks: <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.humanitiesebook.org/about-us/">ACLS Humanities
E-books</a>, which is very inexpensive, and JSTOR ebooks, where
the best approach might be an evidence-based program.<br>
<br>
Fiction is too broad for me to guess at, but I'd see what EBSCO
can do for you in the way of a DDA program, perhaps with
short-term loans.<br>
<br>
You may also want to look at a DDA with ProQuest for comparison.
They are more academic in orientation but have a very broad
selection.<br>
<br>
If you are a member of RapidILL, they do handle book chapter
requests, which may be useful as well.<br>
<br>
Good luck!<br>
<br>

<p class="MsoPlainText">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">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"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">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.

<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">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"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">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"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">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"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
