摘要

摘要为了应对不断上涨的教科书成本，许多人敦促采用面向学生的开放教育资源。然而，图书馆拥有的电子书也为学生提供免费访问，没有OER的潜在缺点。在这项研究中，作者通过查看佛罗里达海湾海岸大学（FGCU）2017年秋季的社会科学教科书清单，探讨了电子书作为教科书的适用性。总体而言，18%的教科书是以多用户形式提供的，这一比例随着课程水平的提高而增加。尽管可用性有限，但多用户电子书为学生提供了免费、方便的选择，它们可能在教科书负担能力解决方案中发挥作用。

Will Library E-Books Help Solve the Textbook Affordability Issue? Using Textbook Adoption Lists to Target Collection Development

ABSTRACT In response to rising textbook costs, many have urged adoption of open educational resources (OER) for students. However, library-owned e-books also provide free access to students, without the potential disadvantages of OER. In this study the authors explore the suitability of e-books as textbooks by examining the social sciences textbook list in Fall 2017 at Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU). Overall, 18% of the textbooks were available as a multi-user format and this rate increased with course level. Despite their limited availability, multi-user e-books provide a free, convenient option for students, and they may play a role in the textbook affordability solution.

期刊介绍： The Reference Librarian aims to be a standard resource for everyone interested in the practice of reference work, from library and information science students to practicing reference librarians and full-time researchers. It enables readers to keep up with the changing face of reference, presenting new ideas for consideration. The Reference Librarian publishes articles about all aspects of the reference process, some research-based and some applied. Current trends and traditional questions are equally welcome. Many articles concern new electronic tools and resources, best practices in instruction and reference service, analysis of marketing of services, and effectiveness studies.
