E-Book Program Development Study: Quarterly Report June 1 – August 31, 2013

Carroll, Jeffrey D.; Goertzen, Melissa J.

The E-Book Program Development Study is an ambitious assessment project aimed at gathering essential data to drive the development of policies related to e-book development programs. The results will provide a set of recommendations and strategies for internal and external stakeholders as they collaborate on the implementation of e-book initiatives. The objective of the first quarter was to review the e-book landscape at Columbia University Libraries and understand how needs and challenges across campus fit into the larger context of e-book management and collection development within the academic community.
