| dc.description.abstract | Göteborg University Library has signed a contract with netLibrary providing users on
the University’s network access to 500 copyrighted electronic books. These electronic
books represent “the third wave” at our Digital Library- the earlier "waves" of resource
networking were bibliographic databases and electronic journals. The project is funded
by the university board and was started in 2001 after testing and preparations during the
fall of 2000. The only realistic alternative for the library was found to be netLibrary. The
process started with a collection evaluation resulting in the creation of a list of titles
appropriate for acquisition. Negotiations with netlibrary followed and a contract was
signed in February 2001. The service was launched over the University’s network in
March 2001. After the local introduction of the netLibrary electronic books at the library
the project work will continue with forming a eBook consortium. A study of other ebook
alternatives will also be carried through. The current project will be evaluated on
the basis of end-user experience. | eng |
