Hi all,

I'm new to this listserv, and new to collection development in general.

We're in the process of updating our Collection Development Policy, 
focusing on ebooks in particular. If anyone on the list has been doing 
the same, we would love to hear how you've addressed ebooks with a nod 
toward:

  * leasing v. owning
  * patron driven acquisition (of course)
  * single v. multiple/unlimited user preferences
  * duplication with print
  * establishing electronic as preferred medium

...those kinds of things.

No doubt, I'm jumping into the middle of an established conversation on 
this list, but I'd love to hear about your experiences.

Thanks!
-Brian
