eBooks and publishers

Macmillan has agreed to make a *limited* number of their backlist titles available for libraries to purchase as eBooks as part of a pilot program.  Several  publishers do not sell eBooks to libraries.    CLAMS  will soon be able to purchase Macmillan’s Minotaur imprint titles through OverDrive, our ebook vendor.  The Minotaur imprint has titles in the Crime and Mystery genres.
Unfortunately Macmillan will not sell current bestsellers in eBook format to libraries.
