TOPIC: USER ACCEPTANCE OF ONLINE BOOKS

Presenters Eileen McIlvaine and Bob Scott will discuss the findings of
Columbia University's Online Book Evaluation Project.  The project
repackaged a variety of books (reference works, textbooks, monographs,
anthologies) from several publishers and made them available in electronic
form  in order to study use and analyze costs. Discussion will focus on
project findings about how users use online books and the implications for
electronic publishing and digital libraries.
