Compra dels e-books de Biqfr per editors

Objective: to analyse the introduction of the scientific and technical e-book collection of the Rocasolano Chemistry-Physics Library (Biqfr) of CSIC and the strategies adopted for the dissemination, creation, implementation, and management of the collection between 2007 and 2009.

Methodology: an in-depth interview was conducted with the director of the research library, and field work was undertaken with the other Biqfr librarians. The information obtained from these two sources was used to analyse aspects of the introduction of e-books from a diachronic perspective.

Results: the library was one of the first to introduce e-books, which represented certain challenges for the librarians, especially as regards making the resources visible and promoting their use among researchers. The librarians adopted various strategies to create and disseminate the collection, enabling them to gain experience in their management and to identify the unique characteristics of this resource in comparison with traditional journals and databases.
