by Vinod Kumar Mishra 16 Nov '12

16 Nov '12

Dear All, In the age of e-books and journals almost every Good and Big libraries are paying much attention on purchasing e-books and Journals. My question is with special reference to e-books that: How many libraries paying more attention to maximize the use of e-books after purchasing? What are the methods they are adopting to maximize the Use? Are they cataloging/importing all the e-books data in their OPAC purchased from different publisher and linked directly to e-books? Libraries provide better high speed Internet and computers to access the e-books? Are libraries checking the usages statistics of e-books regularly and taking some action to maximize the use in case, the use of e-books is less? Are they try to understand the cost effectiveness of e-books purchased after investing crores/lakhs of Public money? Is it advisable to stop paying AMC of e-books in case it is not of much use? Dear friends their are several things which could be in you mind regarding e-books, please share your view/problems/solution etc. here with special reference to satisfy first law of library science "BOOKS ARE FOR USE". With regards, Vinod Kumar Mishra, Senior Library Information Assistant, Saharanpur Campus Library, IIT Roorkee, Mob: 91+9198539740 email: vinod_librarian(a)rediffmail.com : mishravk79(a)gmail.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
