Description
Objective: Acquiring new individual e-textbook titles at the Florida International University (FIU) Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine (HWCOM) Medical Library: The current method needs to be reconsidered?
Introduction: The Course Textbook Reference Collection has annually prepared for HWCOM programs based on the course textbook lists from each program coordinator. Librarians are always required to first look for textbooks in an electronic format:
HWCOM Library = Nearly 100% digital
Limited space for print copies
Clinical teaching sites -across the South Florida region
However, searching a specific e-book title is challenging.
Methods: A review and analysis of e-textbook acquisition activity records from the past two academic years (2017-2018 and 2018-2019).
Included in
Collection Development and Management Commons, Health Sciences and Medical Librarianship Commons
