Abstract
Users demand more and more content in electronic form and how better to augment electronic content than e-books? This presentation will explore the technological, economic and cultural challenges that surround e-book collection development. We’ll review how potential content is identified, trialed and evaluated, and then focus on e-book workflow issues from the point of acquisition to the point of accessibility.

The presenters, all from York University Libraries in Toronto, Ontario were, in order of speaking, Catherine Davidson, Associate University Librarian, Collections, Nancy Hall, Manager, Monograph Aquisitions and Heather Fraser, Head, Bibliographic Services.
