description
This presentation provides a brief history of the rise of the e-book, focusing on the challenges facing school libraries in their management of e-books. The Schools Catalogue Information Service (SCIS) as a key service provider and partner with Australian and New Zealand school libraries is committed to helping schools deal with collection management issues. One of the questions we all face at the moment is how the principles and standards that have served well for physical resources can be applied to digital resources. The presentation also looks briefly at how SCIS is cataloguing e-books.

Defining e-book
“a book in an electronic format designed to be read in an e-reader” (Macquarie Dictionary)
An electronic book (variously, e-book, ebook, digital book, or even e-edition) is a book-length publication in
digital form, consisting of text, images, or both, and produced on, published through, and readable on
computers or other electronic devices. Sometimes the equivalent of a conventional printed book, e-books can
also be born digital http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-book
Benefits of e-books• instant access• take up less space, free up shelves• portable• hyperlinked, interactive, searchable• democratic• greener

Rather than attempting to criminalise consumers,
publishers and libraries should seek to dis-incentivize illegal
behaviour by providing an immediately accessible and seamless alternative service.

What next?
The only really necessary people in the publishing process now are the
writer and reader. Everyone who stands between those two has
both risk and opportunity.
