Users demand more and more content in electronic form and how better to augment electronic content than e-books? This presentation will explore the technological, economic and cultural challenges that surround e-book collection development. We’ll review how potential content is identified, trialed and evaluated, and then focus on e-book workflow issues from the point of acquisition to the point of accessibility.
The main focus of this presentation is how at York University Libraries we added the new MARC fields created for RDA into the SirsiDynix Symphony Integrated Library System. This presentation also included background information on Resource Description and Access (RDA).
