Learning Objectives

Better understand acquisitions models for developing area studies e-book collections, challenges to acquiring and accessing vernacular e-book content, and note issues for more in-depth consideration. 

Abstract

Academic libraries have largely embraced the pursuit of e-book content as a priority because of user demand and shifting collection philosophies. E-book marketplace challenges include variability of acquisition models and uncertainties related to standards and publisher and vendor practices. A largely unexplored aspect concerns e-book collection development for international and area studies specifically non-English language content.
