The authors surveyed students over two years to monitor their attitudes and usage of eTextbooks prescribed for their courses/subjects. I found this article enlightening for a number of reasons, including its demonstration of different types of arrangements for eTextbook provision for students. Both publisher suppliers in this study, while requiring students to subscribe to access the texts (presumably for a fee), they provided enduring access for the students after the completion of their studies. Perpetuity of resources being a particular interest of mine in this field, this grabbed my attention.
I'm sure many who have been involved in the MLDP trial will gain some insight of their own from this article, hence I am sharing with the group here.
