<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve been getting questions from the liaison librarians here at DePaul about how to handle the new state-provided collections that seem to be outweighing more relevant collections. EBSCOhost eBook Public Library Collection North America
is the one that seems to be causing the most issues, with showing kids books up first. The issue is that we do want to make these accessible, ideally, but try to change the ranking. I have a few ideas about how to address this, but I wanted to know if this
has come up for an issue for anyone else with these collections? <o:p></o:p></p>
