Subject Re: CDL: Ebook enthusiasm?
John, what you are saying matches both my witnessed experience with students,
and my own reaction to ebooks.
I believe we've gone to ebooks and have never asked users if that's what they
want. We've proxied patron driven acquisition statistics for desirability, and
assumed "they want everything online" includes books. My experience at the
reference desk is that students most certainly do not want ebooks.
I'm glad to hear there was discussion at Charleston about realities. And I'm
looking forward to hearing other folks' thoughts.
