eBook Feasibility Study for Public Libraries
Het Amerikaanse COSLA (Chief Officers of State Library Agencies) heeft een rapport getiteld eBook Feasibility Study for Public Libraries (zie onder) gepubliceerd. Eén van de suggesties die gedaan wordt is:
A single, national purchasing point for eBooks combined with expert selection, tough negotiation, and data mining that gives members a compelling story for local funders is a different beast from consortia that mostly fill operations or content gaps for have-not libraries. It forces a reckoning and concentrates eBook access to create real leverage. But it’s a steep climb from where we are. Inspiration and leadership will be key.”
