E-Books in the Academic Environment: An Update: UfT Chemistry Librarians 2008

Abstract

As Canadian universities spend an increasing amount of budget for purchasing/leasing e-books from content providers librarians we need to understand issues related to findability and accessibility of e-books. They also need to discuss promotional aspects of e-books. This presentation to Chemistry librarians from Ontario and Western Universities of New York was a precursor to an in-depth e-book survey conducted at York University in Fall 2008.
