摘要

For more than two decades, health science libraries have been building their electronic collections of books and journals. "Shifting from print to digital collections" is identified as the second highest trend in health science librarianship. For journals, the shift from print to electronic collecting has been nearly completed. The shift from print books to eBooks appears to be occurring at a more measured pace. Books are becoming more popular in academic libraries and especially in health science libraries and usage of eBooks is exponentially higher than the print alternative for health science library users. However, there are problems dealing with eBooks. In 2008, Meg White discussed the availability, discoverability, usability problems of eBooks.Today these problems still exist. Problems with eBooks include not all being available in electronic format and many core clinical titles simply cannot be purchased as perpetual licenses. No one vendor can supply all that libraries want. Each package includes titles that have not been used by library users. In addition, some highly regarded health titles are not available electronically to libraries, even though individuals may purchase the electronic format. Because of the nature of eBook packages, there is no single package that is searchable by users as easily as journal article searching of databases. Discovery tools are far from perfect for locating eBook chapters or topics across all packages. Because of the difficulties of searching eBooks, libraries use various creative ways for eBook searching. Czechowski and Tannery discussed a library developed search tool at the University of Pittsburgh for eBook searching. Li, et. al. discussed multiple access point approaches for eBook access.
