The trial was deemed to be a success in terms of the criteria for evaluation proposed by LMC and it is recommended that the Library continues with the use of the model on the basis that a clearly defined subset of the EBL records, with publication dates 2007 and later, is loaded to the Library catalogue to limit the potential expenditure; that expenditure is monitored closely and loading of titles adjusted if deemed appropriate; and that a number of issues identified during the trial, are addressed by EBL. 2017-11-23 00:55:47 Ebook Library Electronic books Acquisitions (Libraries) -- Australia Acquisitions (Libraries) -- Automation Collection management (Libraries) Collection development (Libraries) 2008 1959.1/45804 monash:7553 research report Ebook Working Party Librarianship
