“…Anderson and colleagues examined purchases in the liberal arts. 66 Fewer than 5 percent were deemed inappropriate for a university library collection and call number analysis confirmed a strong cross-disciplinary research trend. Results from Bracke's study on science and technology books mirrored that by Anderson and colleagues.…”

“…6 Anderson et al and Bracke, Hérubel, and Ward offer insightful overviews on the books received through PDAs using their libraries' interlibrary loan (ILL) programs. 7 Although both articles focus on print, not e-books, the studies conducted analyze the college and subject areas of the faculty or students requesting the books via ILL. A team of librarians from the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign (UIUC) and Penn State libraries did a study on print monographs purchased on approval at the two ARL libraries, performing in-depth analyses on costs, usage, and coverage across subject disciplines, similar in approach to the study described in this paper. Research conducted during the period July 1, 2004-March 31, 2007 at the two institutions showed approval books had an average cost per use of $19.83 at Penn State and $22.28 at UIUC; more significantly, circulation data revealed 31 percent of approval books at Penn State and 40 percent of approval books at UIUC did not circulate approximately two to three years after purchase.…”

To better determine how e-book acquisitions might affect future collection development decisions, a team of librarians from the University of Florida (UF) launched a project to assess cost and usage of e-booksT he Smathers Libraries has a primary mission to support the wide-ranging research and instructional activities at the University of Florida (UF), a large land-grant university with an annual enrollment of more than 49,000 and employing more than 3,000 faculty.1 The university also has more than one hundred undergraduate and two hundred graduate degree programs based in sixteen colleges that entail dozens of subject disciplines.2 With such a large scope of departments and degree programs to support across the sciences, humanities, social sciences, and medical-health related fields, the Smathers Libraries are challenged to meet the needs of this vast and diversified clientele. Moreover, the state is emphasizing distance-learning initiatives, with the libraries expected to develop and boost online resources to serve these new constituents.Within this landscape, a team of librarians from the Smathers Libraries (two from the acquisitions department, one from the Marston Science Library, and one from the Health Science Center Libraries) began a project to assess the number, cost, and use of e-books acquired for perpetual ownership by the libraries. The importance of determining the cost and usage of e-books purchased to support multiple subject disciplines is paramount as the Smathers Libraries face restrictive annual materials funding. A primary goal of the project was that the Libraries might apply the findings to improve the method of allocating e-book budgets.

“…44 Anderson and colleagues analyzed the purchase of liberal arts books through the program. Criteria for purchasing ILL book requests were set initially to include only scholarly, nonfiction books in English published in the past five years with a maximum cost of $150.…”
