Using e-books for research Richard Pears Liaison Librarian

E-books for research Use as part of your reading strategy – Keyword search – Annotate – Copy key quotations E-book databases offer more functionality when searching than the library catalogue – access to a broader range of titles Still make use of print resources for in depth reading – not everything is available electronically

Advantages of e-books Print surrogates with added benefits: – Accessibility - 24/7 access for multiple users – Substitute for antiquarian texts – Do not deteriorate – Space-saving

Advantages of e-books Added value with each e-book: – Full-text searching – Reformatting, cut & paste – Highlight text and add notes – Group working – Export options

Disadvantages of e-books Finding them Learning how to use them Access to computers Tiring to read on screen Publication dates Quality of image Copyright

Different providers & formats Some catalogue entire book but allow full-text searching; others catalogue individual chapters Some display book within the database; others link to a separate pdf Some scanned items (possibly text searchable); others free text
