dc.description.abstractConsidering the cost of textbooks, our library makes copies of textbooks available for all engineering courses. Although most of these books are in print format, we provide access to e-textbooks when they are available for institutional access. We then ask faculty to announce to students that they have the option of using the e-textbooks. For the Fall 2011 term, e-textbooks were available to students via one of these platforms: ebrary, MyiLibrary, NetLibrary, Knovel, Safari Tech Books Online, SpringerLink, IEEE Xplore, Wiley Online Library, and ScienceDirect. We sent a survey to engineering students that asked them about: preferences and choices for textbooks in print or e-book format, awareness of the availability of e-textbooks through the library, and ease of use of the e-textbooks.en_US
