"Changes Are Coming To How You Manage Your EBSCO Collections"

You will receive another communication to inform you when your collections are available to enable MARC record delivery. 

To aid you in this change, we are providing a free webinar on Monday, November 23rd at 10:00 AM EST as an opportunity to address questions you may have related to this change.

In these webinars, you will see how to:

• Create a WorldShare account (if you don’t already have one)
• Set up your EBSCO profile in WorldShare Collection Manager
• Enable MARC record delivery for EBSCO titles 
• Define record editing and delivery options for your EBSCO titles
