E-Book Use (ebrary) Conclusions: n  Selectors are not aware of how books in their subject areas are being used n  Librarians don’t know how e-books are being used n  Change collection policy to allow duplicate formats n   STEM books By-The-Drink purchasing (Short term loan, EBL) n  Need better way to track and compile data n  Better understanding how e-books are being used by subject n  Driven by exams, end-of-semester, specific data or cover-to-cover Next Steps: n  Follow-up with users & selectors n  Survey how users are engaging with e-books n  Would having e-books on portable device increase usage n  Share data with selectors  n  Where is ebook access originating?  This is troubling because proxy access is all part of the same range n  Purchasing Pattern n  Increase purchasing in areas with high e-use. For instance, Physics, Geology, Chemistry n  Publishing delay effects preferred format purchasing
