摘要

Building and Managing E-Book Collections: A How-To-Do-It Manual for Librarians is a compilation of chapters by librarians from a variety of settings. This volume aspires to provide guidance for librarians on the fundamentals of e-book collection and on best practices for incorporating these into all types of libraries. Chapters are organized into three groups: Part I, an overview of e-books from their beginnings to the present day; Part II, primarily on issues such as selecting, budgeting, licensing, cataloging, and evaluating; and Part III, which presents case studies from a variety of libraries.
