Are we there yet? An analysis of e-book equivalent coverage in highly-circulated titles at The College of New Jersey Library.

Purpose – This paper seeks to determine the extent of e-book availability and how existing e-books might meet library needs as defined by monograph circulation. Design/methodology/approach – This study identified highly circulated print titles and searched for e-book versions available from aggregators or publishers. Findings – The results indicate inadequate coverage levels to allow for a discontinuance of print purchasing, but offer clues as to where e-books might have the greatest impact in this library's collection plans. Originality/value – The paper introduces a method whereby libraries may determine where e-book collections best meets user needs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
