In many libraries, there is a high demand for materials in Spanish and Portuguese that can represent a large percentage of a library’s overall foreign language e-book offerings. Collection development librarians need in-depth knowledge of languages and outstanding foreign language publishers to research and select materials for a particular subject area. The selection and curation of e-books across multiple languages can be time-consuming for librarians, particularly when there are so many options to choose from. To help librarians save time while meeting the demand for Spanish and Portuguese content, the EBSCO collection development team has curated a variety of collections of high-quality e-books in Spanish and Portuguese. Whether libraries are looking to own more Spanish and Portuguese e-book content or subscribe to a large selection of it at an affordable rate, there are options to suit all libraries, big and small. ### Check out the Spanish and Portuguese e-book collection options available through EBSCO: #### New!
