Posted by engelland on 27th August 2009

I will be giving a talk on this topic at the upcoming ALPSP conference. The focus will be on books for the academic market – both libraries and individuals. Any ideas, questions or specific interest in this topic? – I am happy to hear from you.
Btw – the talk will be video taped and published on the ALPSP site. You will find a link to it once it’s up.

libraries: growth in eBooks over next year

Posted by engelland on 26th November 2008

Three quarters of academic libraries and half of public libraries will increase their eBooks collections over next year. This is one of the results of a recent survey by NetLibrary

Academic libraries aim at supporting their core readin lists in various subject areas.  Public libraries are mainly interested in fiction – possibly encouraged by the increased availability of mobile reading devices. Audio books are also of interest to 65% of the public libraries.
