Description
Electronic books have been an important part of the digital revolution. However, most librarians remain less than enthusiastic about their adoption. Problems with access models and pricing have made it difficult to fully embrace this resource. Faculty and student users continue to want more electronic access, though, and on multiple platforms, including mobile. Librarians must face these challenges head on to continue providing resources that their patrons want and need.
