scales in favor of access in the ownership vs. access debate. The
book provides insights on the use of electronic resources in major
research libraries from data collection by JSTOR, a leading
provider of digital resources to academic libraries. A rich and
diverse collection of theory, opinion, and observation, Electronic
Resources and Collection Development offers a unique understanding
of how libraries are meeting the challenge of reshaping their
collection development programs with electronic resourcesa process
that is quickly gaining momentum. Contributors are divided in their
beliefs on whether a balance is still possible between print
materials and electronic resources in academic libraries. Among the
topics they discuss: the growing demand for e-books the increase in
the use of distance education digitalizing special collections
building localized collections use patterns of electronic journals
and much more! Electronic Resources and Collection Development is
an essential resource for library deans, directors, and collection
development librarians as they assess the levels of change in their
libraries.
