ProQuest Ebook Central eBook ordering:

If you are ordering an e-book and it is available through ProQuest Ebook Central, we may already have access to the book. Before ordering, please do the following:

Check the ProQuest Ebook Central database at: https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/yale-ebooks/home.action to see if the title is listed and accessible.

If the ebook is available through ProQuest:

1. Check to see if we have a bib record in Orbis for the title. If we don’t, notify the E-Resources Access team (marc-files@mailman.yale.edu) to get the bib record loaded.
2. Notify the selector that the title is available through ProQuest EBook Central. Make sure the selector understands that ebrary titles are leased copies and we are not guaranteed perpetual access.
3. Only continue with the order if the selector chooses to pay for perpetual access.
4. If they do, you can let them know whether there are single or multiple user options and the price for each.
5. Once the user options have been selected, you can continue with the order.
6. Once you have been notified that access is available, please notify the selector or requestor that the ebook is accessible.

If the title is not available through ProQuest you can process the order following steps 4-6 above.

Usesr can submit requests via the Purchase Request Form or using the Notify Me feature in the Libby app. Selectors fill requests submitted via the Purchase Request Form or received directly from user. Collection Development fills all Notify Me requests.

• Title owned on another platform (De Gruyter, ProQuest, etc.). Do not purchase and send user link to eBook/catalog record.
• Title not owned by the library but available on an institutional platform (i.e., ProQuest etc.). Contact user and ask that they submit the purchase request form.
• 2 or more Notify Me tags. Order title and title is automatically held for first user on hold list.

Selection preferences:

1. One copy /one user is the preferred lending model.
2. Metered access used for user recommendations or very popular titles.
3. No duplication between OverDrive and other eBook platforms. This is especially true for all academic and university presses.
4. Order entire series even if only one volume is recommended; this is especially true for literary and historical works. However, cost and lending model should be considered.

Funding:

• EPOOLEN – deposit account, hosting fee, and non-reserve. Non-reserves orders include those placed by librarians in DASHRS, Arts, Music, Marx, and Bass.
• ANDRER – all reserve orders
