ebook Call Numbers

[Teresa Ashley]

Our library used to add call numbers to NetLibrary (now ebooks on
EBSCOhost) ebooks:  http://alicat.austincc.edu/record=b1147057~S1
http://alicat.austincc.edu/record=b1189096~S1

I think the advantage in having them display in the catalog was to use the
call number to browse the print collection if the library user did not want
to read an ebook (a problem we encountered 5 or so years ago and still do
occasionally).  The original keyword search would have brought them to the
subject call number, more or less.

I couldn't find any ebook entries with catalog numbers displayed that were
published after 2007.
