And another paper on ebooks

Titled Ex Libris' Response to the E-Book Focus Group Report: Recommendations and Requirements for E-Book Functionality, it was published by Ex Libris in June 2008.
It offers an interesting discussion of possible enhancements to ebook functionality to render ebooks more findable and usable.
The appendices cover ancillary topics including definition of an ebook, where ebooks fit into institutional strategies, findings from the University College, London, Superbook Project (using deep log analysis to see how users actually behave when using ebooks), future roles for university publishing, providing students with digitised core course readings, and the impact of open access.
