EBSCO Publishing (EBSCO) has released 24 new eBook subject sets. The subject sets are part of a rapidly growing collection of eBooks that are offered in convenient collections grouped by subject matter.

Subject sets are a prepackaged set of titles chosen specifically for their subject appeal. The collection development team of librarians and collection specialists use their expertise and knowledge to create collections and sets for libraries. Director of Content Collections for EBSCO Publishing Eve-Marie Miller says some of the recent collections were created with the international markets in mind.

This is corporate puffery with no discernible information content. If we don’t know what is in these “collections” or how much the company is charging for them, we can’t tell whether this is useful packaging or scam. I’d suspect scam from the online info about EBSCO, an Alabama company which also sells fishing lures and steel joists.
