Description
This paper explores the challenges of provisioning a rapidly growing collection of ebooks using Demand Driven Acquisition (DDA) and Evidence-based Acquisition (EBA), the advantages and disadvantages of each model, the impact of usage and purchase trends, and whether these models provide enough evidence to establish future demand and content value. It also briefly examines the impact of various types of discovery on ebooks, in contrast with ejournals.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
Full-text downloads:
Full-text downloads displays the total number of times this work’s files (e.g., a PDF) have been downloaded from QUT ePrints as well as the number of downloads in the previous 365 days. The count includes downloads for all files if a work has more than one.
