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.

Panelists:

· Lisa Nachtigall (Director of Sales Development, Digital Books, John 
Wiley & Sons)
· Kari Paulson (Vice-President & General Manager, E-Books, ProQuest)
· Alison Scott (AUL for Collections & Scholarly Communication,

University Press)
