摘要

为了调查南非大学图书馆的电子书使用情况，本研究探讨了读者对电子书的态度、他们目前对电子书的使用情况以及他们对学术图书馆电子书的期望。调查结果显示，用户渴望使用电子书，但他们不知道图书馆有电子书，也不知道图书馆有多少。纸质书仍然受到许多人的青睐，但电子书被视为一种方便的选择。用户对大多数电子书授权协议所施加的限制一无所知，他们希望像阅读纸质书一样无限制地访问电子书的内容。

E-book Use in South African Academic Libraries: What Patrons Want

In order to investigate the use of e-books at South African university libraries, this study explored patrons’ attitudes to e-books, their current use of e-books, and their expectations of e-books in their academic libraries. Results showed that users were eager to use e-books but that there was a lack of awareness that libraries stocked them, or to what degree. Print was still preferred by many, but e-books were seen as a convenient alternative. Users were ignorant of the limitations that most e-book licensing agreements impose, expecting unlimited access to the content of e-books as they would with print books.
