Provide an integration profile for Ebook Central subscribed titles
We subscribe to the collection Ebook Central Academic Complete International Edition. The number of subscribed titles on the Ebook Central platform is currently around 185 000. However, the Community Zone collection only has around 164 000 titles.
According to ProQuest, there are differences between countries in terms of the number of titles available for a specific customer, based on copyright and publisher restrictions. However, there is only one collection in the Community Zone (i.e. the International Edition package), which would mean that the actual number of titles in that collection does not correctly reflect each international customer's subscribed and active titles on Ebook Central.
Based on this information, I suggest that we should have the option to activate an integration profile for Ebook Central subscribed titles, configured with the customer's Ebook Central site ID, in order to correctly reflect our subscribed titles in Alma.
Hi,
ProQuest Ebook Central integration supports activating subscription content according to the customer ID – this functionality is available for early access customers and will be available for the wider community at a later release. If your institution will like to take part in the early access initiative please contact me directly
