Abstract

This paper lists several electronic books on library technology. In "Beyond Print: Reading Digitally," the author, Gary J. Brown suggests that the availability of digital texts will change how people read and urges producers to alter their approach to electronic books. Vivian Lewis' "E-books After the Fall" provides a good overview of electronic book history with a discussion of what is needed now for successful implementation, both on the publisher and the library side. "I, User - The eBook Prospectus: 2004," by Rich Lugg and Ruth Fischer is a review of what's new in online and offline e-books technology and in solutions for integrating e-books into acquisition processes. Ann Bristow's "Acquiring Reference Tools: Some Thoughts on Current Issues" reviews the state of reference e-publishing and note the metamorphosis of print reference books into subscription-based online databases that are less easy to accommodate in limited budgets.
