Revised HEB Title List and MARC Record Set Now Available

ACLS Humanities E-Book has recently updated its collection, resulting in a slight change to our title list and MARC record set. (Please note that, while HEB generally updates its collection on an annual basis as new rounds of titles are released, individual new frontlist titles may be added or—rarely—existing titles may be taken down in between these release cycles.)

The collection now stands at 3,690. An up-to-date title list, including ISBN numbers and subject headings, can be found here: http://www.humanitiesebook.org/titlelist.html.

MARC records for the collection have also been revised and the latest set is available for download. New subscribers or those who have not recently updated their catalogs should download the latest cumulative file, acls1-9.1.zip. If you have previously updated your records in tandem with the July 2012 release, the current set is identical except for the following: The control number in field 001 was streamlined for a subset of records, records for 18 titles have been removed (the existing link in your catalog will now lead to an inactive title record page; please see this link for a list of all titles removed from the collection since its launch, with date of removal), and this batch includes one new frontlist title released in September.

The latest records for ACLS Humanities E-Book are available at: http://www.humanitiesebook.org/librarians.html#Anchor-MARC-21683.
