•
0 recomendaciones•421 vistas
The CTW Library Consortium conducted a pilot project to share ebooks across the three member institutions: Connecticut College, Trinity College, and Wesleyan University. Over 1,000 ebook titles were loaded for patron-driven acquisition, with 462 titles being purchased after being opened. Usage statistics showed the number of titles opened once and the number of pages viewed. The consortium evaluated the project and considered consolidating workflows and delaying some purchases to better manage costs and content.

- 21. Titles Used by LC Class
Notas del editor
- Here’s a breakdown of all PDA titles that have been purchased or viewed by LC class. It helps answer a question we have been getting asked: Which content areas show up repeatedly in usage statistics? …May relate to wanting to identify early adopters of ebooks by disciplinary areaWhen we started the pilot, we made some guesses about which departments might use ebooks the most and were glad to see that titles being used fall across all disciplinary areas. For example, we were not surprised to see the highest usage counts in the Social Sciences, but were surprised to find out many more Religion and Philosophy titles have been used than Psychology titles.
