E-Book Usage and the "Choice" Outstanding Academic Book List: Is There a Correlation?
Carter Williams, Karen; Best, Rickey
Journal of Academic Librarianship, v32 n5 p474-478 Sep 2006
In this study, the staff of the library at Auburn University at Montgomery analyzed circulation patterns for electronic books in the fields of Political Science, Public Administration and Law to see if favorable "Choice" reviews can be used to predict usage of electronic books. A comparison of the circulations between print and electronic books was also conducted to determine whether the format of the books (print vs. electronic) had a discernible impact on circulation patterns.
