Abstract

This paper covers two broad topics related to eBooks@Flinders – patron driven acquisition of eBooks and an examination of how eBooks are faring at Flinders, through the prism of our eBooks Research Project. Although we commenced our eBook research project in August 2012, we are still in the process of surveying staff and students so it will be some time yet before we can analyse the collected data and write up our findings. Here, we outline our aims for the project and discuss our methodology.
