Stacey,

Our collection development policy incorporated a section on ebooks some years ago. The policy itself is in the process of being revised but maybe it will be helpful to you as is (see especially p.3):

Hello Colleagues

I am looking for examples of ebook policies - my library is finally going to develop one and I'd like to see what others have created.

We buy ebooks in every possible way, style, flavor - we just don't have a policy that sets out rules about it.
