There are a variety of factors to consider. Libraries need the tools to enable students and researchers to easily find, checkout and read e-books from their library, and manage e-book requests from faculty while having clear visibility and control over their library's collection of EBSCO eBooks. That is why we released EBSCO eBook Manager, an administrative suite designed to help libraries better manage their EBSCO eBooks collections. This suite of tools is available in [EBSCOhost Collection Manager (ECM)](https://ecm.ebscohost.com/Books) and offers a variety of functionality to libraries including an easy way to view curated e-book collections and titles contained in each collection, manage MARC records, order [EBSCO eBooks](/products/ebooks) or [Flipster Digital Magazines](/products/flipster) and much more.
