Ebooks have been around in libraries for a couple of decades now. This interval has provided enough time to gather and analyze lots of data related to ebooks. This slate of Evidence Summaries looks at patron usage, analysis of collection strategies, and functionality of platforms. We hope these summaries will help librarians think about their own digital collections and how they can maximize their potential.
