<p class=MsoNormal><b>‘The student consumer and the rise of e-textbook
platforms’ <o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>A recent report for the Society of College, National &
University Libraries (Sconul) listed ‘students as customers’ as one
of the five top ‘transformational’ trends that will impact
libraries over the next ten years.<a style='mso-endnote-id:edn1' href="#_edn1"
name="_ednref1" title=""><span class=MsoEndnoteReference>[i]</span></a> These
student consumers are not all happy and one reason is the rising cost of
textbooks and the lack of availability from libraries. The briefing paper
looks at the textbook market and the moves to digital and more interactive
learning resources. It analyses new approaches to textbook publication
including Open Textbooks and institutional initiatives and new ways libraries
are delivering e-textbooks to students. It concludes with an analysis of the
potential disruptive impact of new user focussed e-textbook platforms<o:p></o:p></p>
