We need to gather info that will help purchasing decisions about our current ebook packages (from a user experience point of view).
Ebook meeting notes, April 13, 2010
List of current ebook packages.
December 2010 project
Remlee is working on a short-term project (hopefully with Marlene) to evaluate 2-3 most major e-book packages. Project scope:
Investigate characteristics of the 2-3 most major packages (NetLibrary, ebrary, & Springer, maybe?) and make an easily scannable list of characteristics (maybe a Google spreadsheet?). For inspiration, start with brainstormed list of features from April meeting. The list will be available to CSM & selectors to inform purchasing choices, and we could make a stripped-down version for users, so they know what’s possible to do with our e-book packages. If we feel like the project results are useful, after the furlough, we can expand the scope of the project to include more packages.
