Hello everyone, I am curious about the trends and availability of e-textbooks in the Art and Design field. My administration is asking me to investigate additional options and vendors for e-books to support our classes. We currently subscribe to ProQuest's Ebook Central Art and Humanities package and purchase individual titles from them when available. We also purchase individual titles from EBSCO. This semester we have 31% of our required and recommended titles available in e-book format. We have also investigated Taylor & Francis e-book collections (the titles are available individually through ProQuest so that wasn't particularly fruitful) and some of EBSCO's packages. Questions include: * What vendors do you use for e-books in the art and design field? * Do you have an initiative on your campus to offer as many required and recommended titles as possible in e-book format? * What percentage of those titles are you able to find in e-book format? If anyone has any interest or insight into this topic, I would love to discuss it with you on or off list.
