| contents | A Systematic Review of E-Books in Academic Libraries: Access, Advantages, and Usage Blummer, Barbara Kenton, Jeffrey M. Academic Libraries Electronic Publishing Books Users (Information) Access to Information Knowledge Level College Faculty College Students Library Services Educational Technology Handheld Devices Computer Use Reading Habits Information Retrieval This article presents a systematic review of E-book user studies from 2001 to 2017. It focused on qualitative and quantitative studies that examined academic user groups' attitudes and interactions with E-books. The review aimed to reveal users' knowledge of the E-book format, their ability to define an E-book, their awareness of E-books' availabilities from the institutions' libraries, as well as their appreciation of E-books' advantages. The authors also considered respondents' usage of E-books such as the devices that fostered E-book access, internet avenues individuals' utilized to locate the materials, printing and downloading of E-books, and the time individuals' spent reading E-books online and the frequency of their access. The literature illustrated the importance of E-books to all members of the academic community for research and coursework. Still, studies pointed to a lack of awareness or familiarity among students, faculty, and staff of their institution's E-books especially with the format's features and the various collections owned by the university. To that end, it is especially critical that librarians promote E-books to all potential users. |
