Reading in Spanish The e-Libro Way

摘要

Spanish readers in the United States are beginning to get their share of ebook titles. Driven by the privately held company e-Libro ("libra" is Spanish for "book"), more than 80,000 titles are available to library users through the mainstream U.S.-based ebook aggregators ProQuest and EBSCO, and the number grows daily. In 2014, e-Libro developed five ebook collections specifically for U.S. research libraries and also added collections for public libraries and community colleges. The ebooks can be purchased for the EBSCO or the ProQuest ebrary platforms through YBP's GOBI service; e-Libro collections are also available on the relatively new BiblioBoard platform.
