Ingram collaborates with EBL to add more e-books to OASIS

Ingram Content Group and EBL - Ebook Library have announced an agreement that will allow libraries to search and purchase EBL e-book content on the Ingram OASIS content platform for academic libraries worldwide. The Ingram OASIS platform is an online library interface for bibliographic information and searching, book and e-book acquisition, collection development and workflow management.

Through the alliance with EBL, Ingram will add more than 325,000 EBL e-book titles to the OASIS platform. Users of the platform can view and select from an expanded selection of e-books alongside print books, with no changes to existing and preferred workflows. Billing will be consolidated, offering libraries integrated acquisition services and invoicing for all EBL content.

'As libraries develop e-book programmes and services, it's important for librarians to be able to seamlessly acquire the e-books their patrons want,' said Kari Paulson, president, EBL. 'Through our work with Ingram, we are offering greater discoverability of our content and further supporting acquisition workflows.'
