EBSCO Publishing (EBSCO) released the preview of eBooks on EBSCOhost, a year after its March 2010 acquisition of NetLibrary. The integration of NetLibrary's eBooks with EBSCOhost database content provides libraries and end users with a more functional way to easily access a library's collected electronic content.

EBSCOhost libraries will be able to access the preview site through the Try New Features link on EBSCOhost, while NetLibrary users will see a banner with the link on the NetLibrary interface. The company will be collecting feedback through a survey that will be available on the preview, and the results will be monitored during the preview period, which will end with the migration from NetLibrary to EBSCOhost in July.
