摘要

本文利用香港八所大学图书馆2007-2011年的数据,对电子图书馆藏增长与总发行量下降之间的关系进行了宏观分析。计量经济学分析应用于评估电子书收藏的临界质量对印刷图书在一个地区的使用的总体影响。基于香港的实证研究,本研究发现,虽然电子书的增加确实导致了总发行量的下降,但它并不是最大的影响因素。从弹性测量的对比来看,电子书替代纸质书的交叉弹性为-0.11。电子书并不是纸质书的完美替代品。本研究最重要的发现是,香港大学图书馆总发行量下降的主要原因是印刷图书的年发行量整体下降;电子书的购买对总流通交易的影响微乎其微。

Impact of the e-Book on Total Circulation Transactions—A Case Study for Hong Kong Academic Libraries
This article provides a macro analysis to investigate the relationship between e-book collection growth and the decline of total circulation transactions, using data compiled from Hong Kong's eight academic libraries for the period 2007–2011. An econometrics analysis is applied to evaluate the overall impact of a critical mass of e-book collection on use of print books in a region. Based on empirical studies in Hong Kong, this study observed that although the increase in e-books indeed contributes to a drop in the total circulation transactions, it is not the biggest the contributing factor. From the comparison of elasticity measurement, the cross-elasticity of substitution of e-books for print books is –0.11. The e-books are not the perfect substitute for print books. The most important finding in this study is that the main culprit for the decline of total circulation transactions in Hong Kong academic libraries is attributed to the decline in the annual addition of print books in general; total circulation transactions are only negligibly affected by the acquisition of e-books.
