商品簡介
Kaplan (library and learning resources, Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences) assembles nine chapters and six examples to help librarians of all types understand the fundamentals of e-book collection development and best practices for selecting, budgeting, and assessing e-books, as well as purchasing models and licensing options. Librarians from the US review the history of e-books and the publishing industry and its impact on libraries, followed by aspects of e-book management, including cataloging, locating, accessing, and evaluating collections. Examples follow, which detail solutions for a variety of settings, including e-books in a high school library, marketing e-books in a public library, circulating e-book readers at an academic library, changing staffing models, and e-book access management.
