The Long and Short of E-Book Short-Term Loans
The e-book model of patron-driven/demand-driven acquisitions is
widespread in libraries today. An emerging component of this model is
the ability for libraries to pay a percentage of the price for a finite
number of short-term loans, or uses, of the book before actually
purchasing the title. Recent discussion on many sites has highlighted
the strong concern on the part of both librarians and publishers about
the sustainability and pricing of new e-book models, including PDA/DDA
short-term loans, and has called into question the future of traditional
scholarly monograph publishing.
This session provides an important opportunity to hear from the library,
publishing and e-book vendor sectors and to be involved in a
constructive conversation on this hot topic.
