EBSCO Publishing Creates E-book Subscription Collection for Business Professionals

EBSCO Publishing (EBSCO) has released its first e-book subscription collection for corporations. BusinessCore™ is designed to support the learning and research needs of business professionals. The collection is available as an annual subscription with unlimited access to the content.

The BusinessCore collection includes thousands of full text e-book titles from leading publishers. New titles will be added on a monthly basis. With BusinessCore, professionals are provided with an easy way to access e-books specific to their corporate research and learning needs. The collection provides a robust e-book experience that includes the ability to search alongside EBSCO’s industry-leading magazine and journal collections, create and add notes and bookmarks, as well as save research for future reference. Users can print, email and save chapters, or transfer them to a number of e-book readers and mobile devices including the Amazon Kindle, Barnes and Noble Nook and Sony Digital Book.

EBSCO Publishing Vice President of Product Management, Tad Goltra, says the new collection adds to the e-book options EBSCO is making available. “Customers now have the option to purchase subscription access, add to their permanent collection, or use a mixture of both to meet their business reference needs.”

BusinessCore

The BusinessCore collection offers more than 5,600 e-book titles and presents detailed, in-depth coverage of a wide variety of business topics including: leadership & management, marketing, project management, business communications, finance & accounting, human resources and sales. The collection also provides many authoritative titles on more specialized subjects such as: mergers & acquisitions, green business, strategic planning, negotiating, time management and corporate learning materials.

Annual subscription is the latest way EBSCO enables corporate libraries to add e-books to their collection. Corporate libraries or learning departments are also able to purchase titles to add to their permanent collection, lease titles they only need for a short time, and place other titles in a collection to be purchased only if/when users need them (Patron Driven Acquisition).

As with all e-books available from EBSCO, BusinessCore will integrate seamlessly with all EBSCOhost® content. The BusinessCore subscription collection may also be integrated into corporate portals and Intranets, learning management systems (LMSs), as well as mapped to an organization’s key competencies. Customers thus have easy access to relevant content wherever and whenever needed.
