E-Book Use and Attitudes in the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Education
Corlett-Rivera, Kelsey; Hackman, Timothy
portal: Libraries and the Academy, v14 n2 p255-286 Apr 2014
A survey of more than 1,300 faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate students in the humanities and social sciences at the University of Maryland generated a wealth of data on use and opinions of e-books among those users. While the initial purpose of the survey was to gather data that would aid humanities and social sciences librarians in making collection development decisions for their academic departments, the data will also be useful to all academic librarians who make decisions about e-books for their institutions.
