“E-books, e-book use, and e-book collecting are high priority issues in libraries in 2013,” award Chair Mary Popp said. “The proposed research project by M. Cristina Pattuelli and Irene Lopatovska is well-planned, uses a nicely varied array of research methodologies to identify both qualitative and quantitative results, and builds on an already completed pilot project."
"Although it is limited to academic libraries," Popp continued, "this project can be tied to the work of other research initiatives, including the recent work by the Pew Internet & American Life Project, to provide a broad picture of the way users connect with electronic books. The committee looks forward to the publication of the results of the research.”
