We have e-books turned on in Serials Solutions. And we are using Summon so they are there as well. Some e-book packages are presented on our databases list.
We just discovered that e-book titles are not part of our new books page (http://library.umkc.edu/newacq/newtitles.html) but we are working on getting that remedied.

If we could ever afford a comprehensive "discovery" tool/service, that would provide another level of visibility for the e-books. Maybe some day the price will come down out of the stratosphere.

Subject: [SERIALST] Providing access to e-books
*Please excuse cross posting*
We are currently discussing how to best make e-books discoverable to our patrons and I am seeking information about how other academic libraries are providing access to e-books via their web presence. Are libraries making e-books accessible from anywhere other than the OPAC?
Thanks in advance for providing any feedback from your experience.
Sincerely,
