Despite the fact that e-books have been in existence for decades in various guises and added to library collections for several years now, there has been a noticeable lack of published manuals on the subject. This is doubtless owing to the rapidly evolving nature of the market. There is now a plethora of different types of digital object that may be termed 'e-books' and a bewildering number of business and access models to match. Moreover the pace of change shows no sign of abating, but there is an increasing amount of popular interest in e-books, and what is needed is practical information to assist library and information professionals managing collections of e-books and doing their best to inform their users right now. This timely book, the first of its kind to provide a practical appraisal of e-books, aims to fill that need by addressing the key questions: Where do e-books come from and what are the key business models that support them? What needs to change before e-books become universally and easily used? What will the e-book landscape look like in ten years' time? How can you be sure you are building a good collection that your users can access easily? And what about money and budgets? This book is divided into five parts: the production and distribution of e-books; planning and developing an e-book collection; delivering e-books to library readers; engaging readers with e-books; and, the future of e-books. This book is a ready reference source for any library and information professional with an interest in e-books and their development. It is essential background reading for library managers wishing to develop an e-book collection from scratch or for those responsible for maintaining an existing e-book collection. It will also have plenty to interest publishers, who need to be aware of the issues faced by libraries managing e-book collections, and will be of great value to students of librarianship and information studies, and those on publishing related courses.

Dans les systèmes d’informations instrumentés par les TIC, les usages et les pratiques révèlent des phénomènes complexes que construisent les processus cognitifs des utilisateurs, les principes fonctionnels des dispositifs techno-documentaires et les visées organisatrices des concepteurs. Cet ouvrage rassemble des contributions de natures différentes autour de problématiques liées aux usages et aux pratiques dans les bibliothèques numériques. Chercheurs en psychologie, en ergonomie, en Sciences de l'Information et en Informatique, professionnels de l'information et responsables de services institutionnels se trouvent associés pour communiquer, et finalement partager, leurs analyses à différents degrés et sous différents angles, des usages planifiés, espérés, pressentis, constatés, originaux ou en genèse de ce dispositifs techno-documentaires qui construisent la Société de l'Information émergente.
