Summary:

Broadhurst, Dominic, Ruth Dale, and Jason Harper. 2022. “Perspectives on E-books and Digital Textbooks and the Way Ahead”. Insights 35: 19. DOI: http://doi.org/10.1629/uksg.599

Abstract: This article presents a range of perspectives on current issues around e-book and textbook supply and consumption in libraries and universities. It is an attempt to provide an analysis of the often-contentious issues arising and also offers an insight into the positions of all the various parties involved. Whilst there might not be agreement or consensus on the causes of issues and the way to proceed, the article attempts to coalesce various perspectives, in the hope of achieving a greater understanding of different stakeholders. Much of the debate in recent years has focused on the situation in the United Kingdom, but similar issues exist in many other countries and an insight into the international perspective is provided. We also offer some commentary on ways forward for both the short and longer term.
