In the UK: Complete Catalogue of Nearly 14,000 Simon & Schuster UK Ebooks Now Available to Libraries
From The Bookseller:
Simon & Schuster UK is to allow libraries to lend its full catalogue of nearly 14,000 e-book titles, effective immediately.
Following what the publisher said was a “successful” pilot scheme, it is expanding access to its full catalogue of e-books to libraries nationwide in the UK.
A similar programme is also being rolled out by Simon & Schuster in Australia & New Zealand.
With the addition of the UK and Australia to existing e-book library programmes in the United States and Canada, Simon & Schuster e-books are now available in libraries worldwide, including open market territories.
