University of California Libraries Academic e-Book Usage Survey 
Report Now Available

A new report, UC Libraries Academic e-Book Usage Survey:

<http://www.cdlib.org/services/uxdesign/docs/2011/academic_ebook_usage_survey.pdf>

presents the results of a 2010 survey of 2,569 University of 
California faculty, staff, and students. The study was a 
collaborative effort between California Digital Library 
<http://www.cdlib.org/> staff and University of California campus 
librarians undertaken as part of a Springer Science+Business 
Media e-Book Pilot Project.  Topics covered include University of 
California reader preference for e-books as compared to print 
books, valued e-book features, and an assessment of reader 
experiences with Springer e-books during 2009and 2010.  We hope 
members of this list may find the report useful.

Questions and comments can be directed to Felicia Poe, Ivy 
Anderson, or Jacqueline Wilson at the California Digital Library.
