A survey of more than 1,300 faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate students in the
humanities and social sciences at the University of Maryland generated a wealth of data on use
and opinions of e-books among those users. While the initial purpose of the survey was to gather
data that would aid humanities and social sciences librarians in making collection development
decisions for their academic departments, the data will also be useful to all academic librarians
who make decisions about e-books for their institutions.University of Maryland Libraries, Library Research Fun
