Estudio sobre el uso de los libros electrónicos en las bibliotecas universitarias de Castilla y León
Objective: The aim of the study is to offer a diagnosis of the use of e-books in the university libraries of Castilla y León, i.e. to analyse the degree of incorporation of e-books in their collections and their level of penetration, in order to develop systems of dissemination and use and to plan future strategies.
Methodology: various surveys were conducted in order to compile information from a three-way perspective: that of those responsible for acquisition services, that of the librarians and that of the users of e-books in the university libraries.
Results: The information obtained shows how the procedures followed by the university libraries of Castilla y León are similar to those in other countries with greater experience in the use of e-books.
