Abstract
With the increasing popularity of e-books and audiobooks provided by public libraries in the U.S., the demand does not seem to be met with sufficient supply, as many popular titles require months of waiting time. In this study, we collected data from the Wisconsin Public Library Consortium's digital libraries service once a day for more than two months for selected popular titles. This data reflects the current supply and demand of popular titles in public libraries' digital library services. Based on our data analysis and observation, we suggest ways to achieve faster circulation, which ultimately allows for better services to library users.
