Abstract

The academic library is increasingly moving to majority online collections. As the number of ebooks increase due to the current ebook purchasing model most libraries use, libraries are more likely to be duplicating titles across packages and platforms. Many libraries do not realize how many duplicate titles there are between packages or how duplicate records affect the user experience. This paper examines four ebook packages in terms of duplication and suggests practical solutions for working with duplicate records. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
