- The Perceived Impact of E-Books on Student Reading Practices: A Local Study Gilbert, Julie Fister, Barbara Reading Habits Electronic Publishing Electronic Libraries Student Research Recreational Reading Use Studies Users (Information) Usability Feasibility Studies Program Implementation Library Research Library Materials Library Development Investigations Academic Libraries This study investigates the perceived impact of future e-book collections on student research and recreational reading habits at our institution through three questions: how students currently use library print collections, how students use e-books, and how these factors impact student perception of the effects of future library e-books on their research and recreational reading behavior. Students express a fairly high interest in e-books, although not without raising significant concerns. While students appreciate the ease of access provided by ebooks, many imagine that research would be more difficult using e-books. Results will help the library better evaluate e-book options and navigate possible issues related to implementation.
