Re: [Cohsl-list] Born-digital books and local author collections

I've acquired a few titles by Greek-American authors published by iUniverse, and have lists of other titles of interest published by CreateSpace and AuthorHouse. From what I've seen many of these titles have an e-book option, but I don't recall any, at least at this point, being e-book/POD only. George ----------------------- George I.

June S ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Juli McLoone <juli.mcloone(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, Sep 30, 2013 at 1:00 PM The works of local authors have historically been one of my institution's collecting foci, and we're now reaching the point where some of their works are appearing only as e-books. I'm curious whether other curators of local author collections are encountering this and how it is being handled elsewhere. Has anyone begun acquiring e-books for special collections? If so, are you acquiring devices or just files; commercial/proprietary versions from the publisher or non-interactive PDF versions? What kind of file management/digital preservation strategies have you put in place? This is not yet something that we're tackling as part of our collection development, but I see it rapidly and inevitably approaching. I'd very much appreciate your perspective on the issue.
