Platform Features
New: Profiling
Profiling is a search feature which automatically notifies librarians of the availability of new eBooks matching subject or publisher criteria that the librarian has outlined in EBSCOhost Collection Manager (ECM). This intuitive new feature helps librarians to make informed decisions about adding relevant content they would like to add to existing collections at various access price points.
New: Suppress downloads for 1 book 1 user (1B1U) titles
Library Administrators will soon be able to restrict downloads to single user (1B1U) titles in their collections, via a radio button available in the "Modify eBooks Downloads" area of EBSCOadmin. When the feature is released, it will default to the current behavior of allowing users to download titles. Administrators who would like to restrict downloading will need to update the setting in EBSCOadmin.
