Hi,
I'm working on an article on eBooks and would value input from information professionals/librarians. Below are the kind of issues I would appreciate comment on:
- Have you ever used eBooks (as in the devices) or digital books (as in the digitised text of books) in your capacity as an information professional?
- If you have, what eBooks/digitised books did you use, and what was your experience?
- Have you ever recommended/supplied eBooks/digital books to your customers? If so, which ones and what feedback have you had on them?
- What implications/relevance do you think eBooks have for informational professionals and their customers? Why?
- Can you, for instance, see a role for such things as "eLending" (user's, say, browse the first pages of books online, and then order those they like the look of , and then download electronic texts that "expire" after, say, three weeks -- with the library managing the process?
- Do you have any general comments on the concepts and practice behind eBooks and digitised books?
Thanks in advance for your help.
