| dc.description.abstract | While the literature on eBooks is extensive, there are only a handful of studies focused on the perspectives of librarians. To answer this question, two librarians distributed a survey to ARL member institutions in 2017 and followed up with a series of focus groups. This presentation will share preliminary results of a mixed-method approach to understand what factors librarians consider when purchasing eBooks for French, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish. | en_US |
