Written from the perspective of a librarian, this book offers a
comprehensive overview of the impact of e-books on academic
libraries. The author discusses advantages to both researchers and
librarians and provides current examples of innovative uses of
e-books in academic contexts. This book reviews the current
situation in e-book publishing, and describes problems in managing
e-books in libraries caused by the variety of purchase models and
varying formats available, and the lack of standardisation. It
discusses solutions for providing access and maintaining
bibliographic control, looks at various initiatives to publicise
and promote e-books, and compares e-book usage surveys to track
changes in user preferences and behaviour over the last decade.
E-books have already had a huge impact on academic libraries, and
major advances in technology will bring further changes. There is a
need for collaboration between libraries and publishers. The book
concludes with reflections on the future of e-books in academic
libraries.
Describes how e-books have changed library services and how they
have enabled academic libraries to align with the e-learning
initiatives of their universitiesDiscusses problems with e-book
collection development and management and lists examples of
solutionsExamines trends in user behaviour and acceptance of
e-books
