In Academic Ebooks – The Shifting Landscape Leslie Lees VP of Content Development for ebrary discussed changes that are occurring with e-books and implications for libraries and their users.
Now that the series Academic E-books – The Shifting Landscape is complete, I want to express my appreciation to Leslie Lees for surfacing the many transformations that are taking place on the e-book landscape and what they are likely to mean for libraries, publishers and the academic community as a whole. I look forward to seeing continued dialog about how libraries and information providers can build new and better capabilities that will add value for users.
