Abstract

Purpose – This paper aims to reveal the perceived barriers to e-book interlibrary loan (ILL) and their reflections on academic libraries’ ILL/lending policies. Academic libraries in the USA have witnessed an impressive growth in acquiring e-journals and e-books. Although ILL of e-journal articles has become a standard practice, ILL of copyrighted e-books does not appear to be equally common. E-book ILL is often considered difficult or nearly impossible because restrictions for ILL are embedded in license agreements (or terms of use) and reinforced by technological measures. Design/methodology/approach – The study opted for a telephone survey method, in which researchers collected data on ILL/lending policies about e-journals and e-books in 200 randomly selected academic libraries in the USA. Findings – The findings show the state of e-books in US academic libraries and demonstrate the slow adoption of e-book ILL compared to e-journal ILL. Licensing restrictions and lack of technical means are the major ob...

美国高校图书馆电子图书馆际互借政策调查
目的:本文旨在揭示电子图书馆际互借的感知障碍及其对高校图书馆馆际互借政策的思考。美国的学术图书馆在获取电子期刊和电子书方面取得了令人印象深刻的增长。虽然电子期刊文章的恶意抄袭已经成为一种标准做法,但版权电子书的恶意抄袭似乎并不普遍。电子书ILL通常被认为是困难的或几乎不可能的,因为对ILL的限制嵌入在许可协议(或使用条款)中,并通过技术措施得到加强。设计/方法/方法-本研究采用电话调查方法,研究人员在随机选择的200家美国学术图书馆中收集电子期刊和电子书的ILL/借阅政策数据。调查结果——调查结果显示了美国学术图书馆中电子书的现状,并表明与电子期刊相比,电子书的采用速度较慢。许可限制和缺乏技术手段是主要问题。
