The three main sections contain contributions by experts in the publisher/vendor arena, as well as by librarians who report on both the challenges of offering and managing e-books and on the issues surrounding patron use of e-books. The case study section offers perspectives from seven different sizes and types of libraries whose librarians describe innovative and thought-provoking projects involving e-books. Read about perspectives on e-books from organizations as diverse as a commercial publisher and an association press. Learn about the viewpoint of a jobber. Find out about the e-book challenges facing librarians, such as the quest to control costs in the patron-driven acquisitions (PDA) model, how to solve the dilemma of resource sharing with e-books, and how to manage PDA in the consortial environment. See what patron use of e-books reveals about reading habits and disciplinary differences. Finally, in the case study section, discover how to promote scholarly e-books, how to manage an e-reader checkout program, and how one library replaced most of its print collection with e-books. These and other examples illustrate how innovative librarians use e-books to enhance users' experiences with scholarly works"--Provided by publisher.Charleston insights in library, archival, and information sciences.Academic librariesUnited StatesCase studiesLibraries and electronic publishingScholarly electronic publishingAcademic librariesCollection developmentLibrariesSpecial collectionsElectronic booksAcademic librariesLibraries and electronic publishing.Scholarly electronic publishing.Academic librariesCollection development.LibrariesSpecial collectionsElectronic books.025.17/4Nixon Judith M.Freeman Robert S.Ward Suzanne M.MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910169192903321Academic e-books2024609UNINA
