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.

Description

This presentation about e-book workflows was given at the Canadian Library Association Conference in Vancouver, B.C. on May 23, 2008. 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.
