Booklist Online: More than 130,000 book reviews for librarians, book groups, and book lovers - from the trusted experts at the American Library Association

OCLC announced yesterday the sale of NetLibrary to EBSCO.  According to the press release, EBSCO will acquire the eBooks and eAudiobook collections from NetLibrary.  The content will remain available on the NetLibrary platform, but EBSCO also plans to offer it on the popular EBSCOHost platform.  Several FirstSearch databases were also licensed to EBSCO in the deal.  The unnamed databases will (slowly and smoothly) transition to the EBSCOhost platform.
