(4) Goal of the study To understand our e-book usage data by providing meaningful context to the statistics we collect.

(5) Our data viewed through the prism of: • Access type – owned vs. subscribed vs. DDA • Simultaneous user access • Rights restrictions - DRM or not • Publication year • Subject/discipline: o Breadth vs. intensity o In comparison with print o In correlation with user discipline distribution.

(6) Data scope: E-books • E-book holdings as of Jan 2015 (363,691 titles) • E-book usage data for Jan-Dec 2014. www.fernandobiz.com.

(7) Data scope: Print • Print holdings as of Jan 2015 (793,556 titles) • Print circulation statistics Jan – Dec 2014 • Resource sharing statistics for print books borrowed by CCL patrons Jan – Dec 2014.

(8) Excluded from the study o All print and e-books with unknown classification/publication year (~18,000 print books and ~130,000 e-books) o Any e-book collection without available title-bytitle usage (~66,000 titles) o All theses/dissertations in both formats o All government documents (~98,000 e-titles and ~114,000 print titles).

(9) Our data • E-books:. o Detailed holdings and usage data kindly provided by our vendors o Title lists from WMS knowledge base, as well as aggregators and publisher websites o COUNTER BR2: Section requests (in the vast majority of cases) o COUNTER BR1: Title requests (when section request data were not available). • Print books:. o OCLC Analytics holdings data o Local circulation statistics – checkouts + renewals o Titles borrowed via Resource Sharing – aggregated Link+ and ILL data. www.highradius.com.

(21) What does this result mean? http://office.microsoft.com/en-ca/images|. • Non-DRM e-books represent bigger proportion of used titles that than they do of all titles, except in history (non-DRM history e-books are 13% of all holdings, and only 11% of all used titles) • Non-DRM books are more desirable? • Non-DRM books are easier to access? • Non-DRM books are more easily discoverable?.

(29) Takeaways from publication year analysis • It is essential to correlate titles lists to usage reports – to highlight the titles with zero usage • E-book holdings are quite low through the end of 20th century publication year • E-book publishing picks up in the 1990s and as of the early 2000s it surpasses print holdings • The highest usage per title is observed in e-books published within the last 5-10 years • E-books published between the 1960s and the 1990s however show significant usage as well.
