Utilizing SFX to Facilitate Electronic Book Discovery

Abstract

Users have positive experiences using electronic books when libraries can reduce barriers to access. This presentation will detail how the Electronic Resources Unit at Illinois State University’s Milner Library uses SFX as a bridge to facilitate patron discovery and access to electronic books. While primarily a general overview of using SFX for electronic book discovery, the presenter will discuss the use of SFX as a core component of the library’s patron-driven access program.
