Dalhousie Libraries have thousands of e-books in its collection, but they are under-utilized. Ms. Gail Fraser, Head of Acquisitions at the Kellogg Library, recently had an article published in Doody’s Electronic Review Service. She explains some of the issues unique to e-books and suggests some ways to increase the use of these resources.
