Baker & Taylor and Gale/Cengage connect with ebooks
Posted by: Sue Polanka
Libraries using the wholesaler Baker and Taylor may now purchase eBook titles from Gale through B & T’s Title Source 3 ordering system . B & T and Gale/Cengage announced today the new partnership. Nearly 3000 GVRL titles, the Lit Crit series, and titles in Gale’s Directory Library may all be ordered. This is a real convenience for libraries wishing to expand their ebook collections, or renew titles already owned. Here’s a clip from the press release:
“GVRL offers nearly 3,000 reference sources from some 50 authoritative publishers on a
stable, easy-to-use platform. Libraries have the flexibility to buy one e-book or multiple ebooks
and to search across a single e-book or an entire e-book collection. The collection
grows weekly and covers a wide variety of topics and subjects — ranging from current
events to classics and from arts and humanities to small business management.
Literature Criticism Online brings together 10 of the most acclaimed literary series
representing a range of modern and historical views on authors and their works across
regions, eras and genres. Gale Directory Library is an online collection of crosssearchable,
authoritative directories of companies, publishers, associations and more.”
