There are several reasons why it is important for libraries to easily suppress unwanted or obsolete e-books from their e-books collections. It can help to improve the user experience, make better use of limited storage space, allocate resources more effectively, and maintain the integrity of the collection.
As a refresher, eBook Manager is a workflow solution within EBSCOhost Collection Manager, or ECM. eBook Manager gives you control within your library's e-book collection in a single feature-rich interface. As a library's e-book collection grows and ages over time, it may become necessary to adjust the availability of certain titles. Possibly there are new additions available, or the e-book is no longer relevant to your patrons.
The visibility setting in eBook Manager enables you to ensure specific titles do not appear to patrons searching your collection. Visibility is identified in eBook Manager with the following icon: an eye with a slash mark. Let's look at how you can leverage eBook Manager to adjust the visibility of your e-books one at a time or in bulk. Let's start with suppressing a single title.
First, select the title in your collection you wish to act on. From the title level drop-down, select Visibility. The call to action box is displayed and you can click suppress. Select save and you'll notice in the upper right hand corner a green success toast is shown to indicate the visibility for this e-book has changed. To see your changes in real time, simply refresh your screen and you'll see this title now has suppressed within the title level details.
Should you wish to change the book back to unsupressed, simply select it, go back to the title level tracking menu, select visibility, uncheck this response, click save. That green success toast will come up in the upper right hand corner. Again, and you'll see that it is no longer suppressed. If you attempt to suppress a book that's already suppressed or vice versa, you'll notice an error toast in the upper right hand corner.
This is a wonderful way to see the actions you attempted could not be completed. Once you have acted in eBook Manager to suppress or unsuppress a title, those actions will be reflected automatically in EBSCOhost and EDS. Purchased e-books will be removed from your OCLC holdings. Depending on the systems your library uses, subscription e-books may need to be removed manually from your catalog or discovery system.
And unowned DDA e-books will still appear in your DDA lists in ECM and GOBI unless you also remove those from within those systems. Now that we've examined the single title workflow, let's walk through suppressing in bulk. The multi-title experience is very similar to the single title workflow. First check the boxes for the titles that you wish to change.
Next, select visibility. You'll notice the same call to action moments, and there's an indicator of the number of books you've selected. Today, you select five. We'll go ahead and suppress these by checking the suppressed box, clicking save, and looking for that success toast in the upper right hand corner and our visibility is changed. A quick refresh and we'll see those changes in real time.
And you'll notice the real time update that now are suppressed e-books is 25 for this collection. We can also apply the facet for the visibility on visible e-books only. Select apply, and you are now shown only the visible titles in your collection and you can determine what are the next steps that you wish to take for either suppressing or not suppressing these titles within your collection. Utilizing the facet feature for your entire collection offers you a quick and efficient means to examine the visibility of your e-books and determine what next steps you may wish to take to manage your collection.
I hope this session on managing the visibility of your e-books was helpful. In closing, today we demonstrated how to suppress individual e-books and e-books in bulk. We also reviewed how changes in visibility are reflected in EBSCOhost and EDS. Lastly, we examined how to leverage the facets functionality to manage visible and suppressed e-books.

Researchers have been examining the differences between reading regular books and e-books for years. Many of the studies have shown that reading old-fashioned books has plenty of advantages over e-books, which can be gateways to other electronic distractions, all of which screw with your sleep. This is why you should ditch the screen for printed pages.
A recent study out of Harvard University found that reading an e-book before bed lessened the production of an important sleep hormone known as melatonin. As a result, people took much longer to fall asleep, experienced less deep sleep, and were more fatigued in the morning.
Reading helps you de-stress faster or just as fast as listening to music, taking a walk, or having a cup of tea or coffee, according to a 2009 study. When researchers measured heart rate and muscle tension, they found that people relaxed just six minutes into reading.
It's hard to put my finger on what exactly draws me to paper books, and makes me avoid electronic ones. Perhaps it's the tangible qualites: Turning the pages of a book helps me mark my progress, and underlining prose that stands out to me makes reading a very intimate occasion. It could also be the science behind it: that regular books ease our minds into sleep. But it's likely that reading allows me to rely on a singular focus to transport me to a new world, leaving all my stresses and personal problems behind. I stop the selfish cycle of technology that centers around checking my Facebook or Instagram, or taking selfies, as I wait for my brain to get rewarded from notifications and likes. Real books allow me to step outside myself and enter someone else's world. The modern world, after all, can be tiring.
The CLS certificate program is designed for students with baccalaureate degrees in the chemical or biological sciences who seek licensure/certification in clinical laboratory science.
Graduates of this program have diverse skills for employment in a clinical or research setting. The CLS curriculum serves as a solid preparation for medical, dental, veterinary, pharmacy, and graduate school.
By using this guide, students and faculty will learn how to identify and locate books, e-books, peer-reviewed articles, and streaming videos for research purposes. They will also be able to distinguish and cite ethically quality research for their research needs.
This research guide is intended to serve as a starting point for users researching within the discipline of Clinical Laboratory Science (CLS). It is intended to reflect current curriculum needs at Florida Gulf Coast University, which means not all areas of Clinical Laboratory Science research will be represented equally. This is not intended to reflect the importance of any given research interest. As the curriculum changes, the scope of this guide will change, as well.
The content of the guide primarily reflects the resources available through the FGCU Library. Electronic resources such as databases and e-books may only be accessed by current FGCU students, staff, faculty, and emeritus faculty. General collection books may be checked out by current FGCU students, staff, faculty, emeritus faculty, and community users within the counties of Charlotte, Collier, Glades, Hendry, and Lee. All materials may be used onsite by members of the public.
