There is an excellent PowerPoint presentation by Jim Michalko of 
OCLC on ebooks in libraries.  This requires a download:

The theme is the switch from print to digital books. 
Unaddressed is "the great disconnect":  though all the publishers 
cited here claim that they will shortly have ALL their books in 
digital form, publishers are still grappling with how to make 
ebooks available to libraries.  Who will be the first to cut the 
knot?
