Dear all,
I expect that you’re settling down to work on your papers right about now, or starting to do so. Can’t find a book? Have you looked for it via the link below?
These are books that the library does not yet own, but by requesting it (as below), you are requesting the library to purchase it.
This is a fabulous opportunity! PLEASE use it.
Best,
Amanda Klekowski von Koppenfels, Ph.D.

Subject: [bsis-14] The Brussels Patron Driven Acquisition is now live
Dear Brussels students,
Great news! The patron driven acquisitions (PDA) platform is now live for you to start exploring using the links below in this email or via the Brussels library web pages (http://www.kent.ac.uk/library/students/brussels.html) . This will allow you to gain access to over 100,000 electronic books for your research from the EBL book platform.
The process is as follows:
If you can’t find the e-book you need on the University of Kent Library catalogue (https://catalogue.kent.ac.uk/Search/Advanced):
1. Log into the EBL platform (https://catalogue.kent.ac.uk/Search/Advanced) with your University of Kent username and password.
2. Browse or search for the electronic book you would like to access either by author, title or keyword.
3. Click on the book to access it and start reading: if you access an e-book not already owned by the University of Kent this will initially trigger a 1 day electronic loan of the title.
4. If you or another Brussels student later access the same e-book it will be automatically purchased and permanently added to the University of Kent catalogue to the benefit of everyone at the University.
This is a process only available to BSIS students and there is no cost to you as a student so please make the most of this opportunity to develop the electronic library collection.
If you have any problems accessing the service, please see the Help/Feedback section (upper right hand side of the EBL platform page) or contact us: BSISlibraryhelp@kent.ac.uk

Ben
