Open Access Unrestricted online access star "Academic E-Books: Publishers, Librarians, and Users provides readers with a view of the changing and emerging roles of electronic books in higher education. 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"-- Scholarly electronic publishing. fast 71334 Libraries Special collections. fast 71335 Libraries and electronic publishing. fast 71336 Academic libraries Collection development. fast 71337 Academic libraries. fast 71338 LANGUAGE ARTS & DISCIPLINES Library & Information Science General. bisacsh 71339 LANGUAGE ARTS & DISCIPLINES Library & Information Science General. bisacsh 71306 LANGUAGE ARTS & DISCIPLINES Library & Information Science General. bisach 71340 publishing. aat 71341 editing. aat 71342 collection development. aat 71343 Édition. 71344 Traitement (Bibliotheques) 71312 Developpement des collections (Bibliotheques) 71313 Bibliotheques universitaires États-Unis Études de cas. 71345 Bibliotheques et edition electronique. 71346 Édition electronique savante. 71347 Bibliotheques universitaires Developpement des collections. 71348 Bibliotheques Fonds speciaux. 71349 Publishing 71319 Library Technical Services 71320 Library Collection Development 71321 Publishers and publishing. 71322 Editing. 71309 Technical services (Libraries) 71323 Collection development (Libraries) 71324 Academic libraries United States Case studies. 71325 Libraries and electronic publishing. 71302 Scholarly electronic publishing. 71300 Academic libraries Collection development. 71303 Libraries Special collections. 71301 United States. fast 71350 Case studies. fast 71351 Electronic books. local 71352 Nixon, Judith M., editor. 71353 Freeman, Robert S., editor. 71354 Ward, Suzanne M., editor. 71355 Project Muse. distributor 71356 Book collections on Project MUSE. 71333 Full text available: https://muse.jhu.edu/book/43208/ ddc EBK Project MUSE - 2016 Complete Project MUSE - 2016 Higher Education 87763 87763
