Hello and welcome to the EBSCO eBooks Collection Quick Bites series. So I'm Gemma Doyle, the collection development teams manager.

Here's a little refresher on what featured collections and spotlight lists are, and they really are basically the same list of titles, with Spotlight Lists just mirrored onto GOBI. As with our other e-book products, Featured Collections and GOBI Spotlight lists are managed and curated by the EBSCO Collection Development team. These collections serve as selection lists, covering a wide range of topics and genres. They're updated monthly, quarterly, bi-annually or annually, depending on the collection. We develop these lists with the needs of the collection development librarian in mind, constantly keeping an eye out for trends in requested topics as well as anticipating future industry needs.

Currently, there are over 450 featured collections and over 250 GOBI Spotlight lists available. We have over 20 business-related featured collections.  Here is a list of some of the most popular ones. Our featured collections contain e-books that are for a wide ranging audience, from introductory undergraduates to grad students and professionals. Subject sets are a well-established and trusted academic e-book product. They are meticulously curated to include the very best titles in a given subject. There is a guarantee of no duplication of titles between any subject set and the sets are smaller in size when compared to some of our other collections like featured collections. Unlike Featured Collections and Spotlight List updates, entirely new subject sets for these topics will be created based on the availability of new content. Subject sets are also available on EBSCOhost Collection Manager as well as on the GOBI Library Solutions website.

EBSCO eBooks Subscriptions are an excellent way for libraries to acquire a large amount of content at an affordable rate. They're one of our most popular e-book products. EBSCO launched its subscription product line in 2012 with two collections, and we currently offer over 50 e-book subscriptions. These subscriptions are carefully managed and curated by EBSCO librarians. Currently, the collection development team evaluates over 300,000 titles per year for subscription inclusion. EBSCO eBook subscriptions offer unlimited user access with no turnaways along with complimentary MARC records. Our collection development librarians add new titles to each subscription collection quarterly in January, March, June and September. We have three main business subscriptions: Business North America and Worldwide, which are for academic audiences, BusinessCore, which is for corporate audiences and the Harvard Business Review Press subscription, which contains just titles from Harvard Business Review Press, as you can tell. These subscription collections can be ordered and renewed each year using EBSCONET, a comprehensive EBSCO subscription management platform or through your EBSCO sales rep.

EBSCO has partnered with a ton of excellent business publishers. Part of our work in the collection development team is researching publishers and deciding which ones we want to partner with. So we are very aware of publishers and their various strengths even before we start handling their titles on a daily basis. So this is a snapshot from the bestselling front list business e-books from the end of October 2022.

And that sums up our quick dive into business content and products. There are a variety of ways to stay informed about all of our new e-book collections. Please check out the companion info sheet to this presentation for links to EBSCO resources.

Thank you for your time and I hope you've enjoyed this session of EBSCO eBook Collection Quick Bites.
