Subject RE: Ebook enthusiasm?
John,
Looking at our statistics--a difficult comparison (apples and oranges), given
the number of ebooks that we hold and make available in our catalog, their use
is underrepresented as a percentage when compared to print book usage. That
doesn't mean we are giving up on them but watching the trend.
Anecdotally (i.e., at the Research Help Desk), student both seem pleased by
ebooks but confused about how to access them.
Houghton is a small liberal arts college with but one graduate degree. I would
be curious what others are seeing.
