Selecting and Evaluating Foreign Language E-Books Overview
Selecting and evaluating foreign language e-books require considerations such as availability, cost, access methods, content value, usability, and technical functionality. This process involves assessing factors like annual subscriptions, authentication methods, resource discovery, and the relevance of titles to teaching and research. Additionally, the evaluation may include checking for compliance with statistical standards, cost-effectiveness per title, and potential savings in shelf space. The resource discovery may involve exploring different formats, archive access, post-content updates, and bundled offerings to support diverse language needs.
