Members can build a list though ECM and then export the list for purchase (this exports as a spreadsheet). In this case, however, you cannot purchase the titles directly through ECM if you want to participate in the consortia offer.
- When browsing books through ECM - be sure to enable the "Elible for Consortia' limiter when searching for ebook titles.
- If you don’t have an ECM account, have forgotten your ID and password, or have an expired account, please contact Technical Support at: 1.800.758.5995
