What’s New
CEC in Gale Pages
You can now access your library’s CEC links for Axis 360, BiblioBoard and EBL in Gale pages. Gale has developed a new feature that allows us to easily load and maintain your Commonwealth eBook Collections links. Many thanks to our friends at Gale! To find your library’s Gale Pages, visit http://mblc.state.ma.us/grants/licenses/links/index.php.

IndieBooks
More than 50 authors throughout Massachusetts have shared more than 150 eBooks already. (1) Each month, we’ll report new authors. (2) We’re also working on our new site for Indiebooks authors where we will post a full running list of authors by municipality. Stay tuned!
Promotion
A new logo is coming! You can expect fresh new promotional materials available for order in the top half of December if all goes well. Sneak preview!
Action Alerts
Commonwealth eBook Collections Steering Committee has convened a Marketplace Action Task Force. This small group will draft positions on important issues for Steering Committee review by the end of 2016. Stay tuned for updates on the progress on this group and what comes next!
Celebrate MA Libraries
