[Eril-l] CD policy around cost sharing ebook purchases?

[Electronic Resources in Libraries discussion list]

We're looking at our collection policy around requested ebooks,
specifically textbooks. We have a very small budget for ebooks in total, so
we'd like to come up with some way of cost sharing the purchase price with
the requesting department.

Does anyone have any CD policy piece that talks about cost sharing,
purchases of textbooks, and/or purchase of ebooks in general? We're hoping
to find what other academic libraries are doing in this regard when the
requests come in for 20 textbooks andd our budget covers maybe one or two
of those.

Please feel free to share off-list as well to either jdgr.library at gmail.com
or my work address of j.gilbertredman at und.edu.

Thank you!
