Hello Heather,
Not sure if you got the email that the plates (as opposed to the figures) are there. Don’t know how Angela found them short of clicking on page after page
as the Illustrations list gives no page number! I tried keywording “Plate XX” in the search box to no avail!
I like your idea of putting the burden of determining whether or not all illustrations from the print book are included in its ebook version on the ebook package
publisher. Oxford ebooks are notorious for leaving out images—their rep in Pasadena told me Oxford is a non-profit academic publisher that can’t afford the costs involved in providing the images.

Sorry to say we don’t have this yet or I would check for you. However, you bring up an important issue and I’m
curious to know if other institutions are negotiating/discussing this with e-book publishers. We would like to have data about incompleteness available at point of purchase and we’re
discussing it with Oxford University Press now, in relation to our TRLN pilot program that uses Oxford’s e-books platform.

The idea being, for instance, libraries could exclude incomplete titles from their approval plans and restrict those titles to slip plans.

Again, this Cambridge University Press title previewed in ebrary does not appear to include the 30 colour plates listed under Illustrations. I wonder if subscribers
to Cambridge Books Online have access. Would appreciate a check.

Dear ARLIS,
The ebrary "preview" is not showing the colour plates which should follow p. 18 in this book. Can someone who has access let me know whether or not the colour plates are there? I would be most grateful.
