CLEVELAND – January 21, 2021 – As digital books become more essential
in colleges and universities due to the COVID-19 pandemic, academic
librarians are adopting the ebook format at a vastly accelerated rate.
To better understand ebook collection development in academic
libraries, Choice, a publishing unit of the Association of College and
Research Libraries (ACRL), conducted a research study to shine a
much-needed light on the ways academic libraries are responding to the
increased demand for digital content. Highlights include data showing
that ebooks are an established part of academic library collections,
many academic librarians’ overarching acquisition model favors ebooks
over print and both libraries and patrons have fully integrated ebooks
into their workflows and practices.
