- How Do You Like Your Books: Print or Digital? An Analysis on Print and E-Book Usage at the Graduate School of Education Haugh, Dana Graduate Students Student Attitudes Books Electronic Publishing Budgets Library Materials Periodicals Databases Academic Libraries Comparative Analysis Printed Materials Statistical Analysis The shift from physical materials to digital holdings has slowly infiltrated libraries across the globe, and librarians are struggling to make sense of these intangible, and sometimes fleeting, resources.
