In 2009, the libraries UOC and UPC have already begun a series of pilot tests to analyze the response of users to this new technology. In the news they were receiving other neighboring countries can infer the high degree of acceptance of electronic books between users. However, it is true that we have a very mature technology and not only with respect to the technology itself but also regarding the available collections, mainly in Catalan and Spanish. Editors, librarians and consumers observe the neighbor waiting for some movement. We haven't a definitive model or even a standard for e-book readers or for the formats of these digital objects, but in fact you can buy the first models and collections. Libraries can not be left out of this new form of access and that's why, despite the uncertainties, the General Libraries has launched a pilot project to incorporate a total of 28 readers in a selected number of libraries Public Library System of Catalonia. In this paper a preliminary approach to the situation of the electronic book is describes the service model and business agreed with the supplier for this project Specifically, the various collections available in our country and state of the art regarding e-book readers. They also discussed the issues that remain open, clear business models for libraries, lack of specific services for the distribution and loan collections of electronic books to libraries, etc.. |
