[SEE UPDATE BELOW]
If you find an ebook in the search results that it looks like we don’t really have access to, chalk it up to a known issue that first surfaced a few weeks ago. As noted on the “Known Issues” page of the Support @ OLS website:
PCI “ghost” activations: For the past few weeks resources have shown up in Primo searches that are *not* activated in the Primo Central Index. Several schools have reported this problem, and it appears to happen most frequently with ciando eBooks. Other collections that show up are: Credo, Dandy Booksellers, Bridgeman Education, several Oxford University Press collections.
Here’s an example of book you can find in OneSearch from some ebook collection (“ciando eBooks”) that we don’t actually have here at Baruch. If click on the Details tab and scroll down to the bottom of the record, you can see where this ebook record came from:
If you find one of these, please let Mike or me know so we can report it to CUNY OLS.
UPDATE 8 July 2015: The ghost content that we didn’t really have access to is no longer showing up in search results.
