In January 2008, The University of Nottingham joined 126 other UK institutions to take part in a project (the largest study of its kind) to investigate and observe how over 50,000 participants used a selection of academic electronic textbooks. It aimed to assess the impacts on print sales, library circulation data, and business models, and the related consequences for librarians and publishers.
26 electronic texts in four subject areas, including Medicine, were made freely available to these institutions for the duration of the project. Now ended, please follow the link for the latest findings from the project: http://www.jiscebooksproject.org
