SURVEY QUESTIONS CORPORATE LIBRARIES AND EBOOKS

摘要

1. Does your organization use/subscribe to ebooks? If yes, please continue; if no, why not (please specify)? 2. Is acquisition and maintenance of ebooks the responsibility of IS (or the library)? If not, whose is it (and can we talk with that person)? 3. What are your selection criteria? 4. In your experience with ebooks, is the acquisition model "buy the hard copy, get the ebook for free" (as is the model with some newspapers and magazines)? If not, what acquisition model(s) do you use or are you familiar with? 5. Which vendors do you currently use for ebooks? 6. What are the hot topic areas (e.g., general business, management, specific industries, reference, etc.)? 7. How are ebooks deployed (to whom and via what devices and what security [passwords, IP authentication, concurrent usage, etc.])?
