  • During the Last Decade, E-Books Have Grown to Become a Significant Library Resource, Particularly Within the Academic Library
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by E-LIS FINAL Aggre-culture: a view of what e-book aggregators offer libraries Ray Lonsdale and Chris Armstrong Ray Lonsdale is Reader in the Department of Information Studies at Aberystwyth University and Chris Armstrong is Managing Director of Information Automation Limited During the last decade, e-books have grown to become a significant library resource; a 2007 international e-book survey showed that 88% of respondents “answered that they own or subscribe to e-books and nearly half of the respondents (45%) have access to more than 10,000 e-books” (ebrary, 2007). Although annual US wholesale e-book sales rose by 23.6% in 2007 (Rothman, 2008), take up has continued to be uneven in the UK. Higher and Further Education continue to dominate sales with a number of public and special libraries also committing to the format, but other sectors – such as schools – are only just becoming aware of the possibilities offered. In the same way that some years ago aggregators developed platforms of e-journals, aggregators now have become an important means of access to e-books, providing large collections of titles from many publishers under a single contract and through a single interface. They now constitute a major source to which UK libraries turn for the provision of e-books, as evidenced in a recent JISC report: “Until 2005 roughly 50% [of HE institutions] had been buying e-books from aggregators, but this figure has risen to 63% in the last 18 months.” (Higher Education Consultancy Group, 2006) Researching the article Given the growth and importance of e-book aggregators, as well as the lack of information in the literature, it seemed an opportune time to explore developments in this sector.

  • At the Sign of Newton's Head: Astronomy and Cosmology in British Colonial New York Sara S
    At the Sign of Newton's Head: Astronomy and Cosmology in British Colonial New York Sara S. Gronim Rutgers University In 1745 Anthony Lamb, an instrument maker and vendor in New York City, advertised that he could provide Davis quadrants, forestaffs, nocturnals, rectifiers, and compasses at "the Sign of the Quadrant and Surveying Com- pass." As the name of his shop indicated, navigators and surveyors were Lamb's primary customers. In the mid-eighteenth century, New Yorkers sailed trade routes to and from the West Indies and Europe and steadily acquired land for farming to the north and west of the Hudson Valley, and Lamb, no doubt, did a good business. But in the 1750 s, Lamb changed the name of his instrument shop. Now customers were directed to "the Sign of Sir Isaac Newton's Head." By using Newton as his icon, Lamb was signifying that he could satisfy de- mands for astronomical instruments beyond those that were simply practical. This expansion of demand reflected both in the public interpretation of celes- tial events in British colonial New York and in the cultural allegiances of those claiming the authority to make such interpretations. The promulgation of a new cosmology among New Yorkers, however, proved to be difficult and only partially successful.' Understandings about the structure and meaning of the universe changed dramatically among European astronomers in the Early Modern period. In the hundred years following the publication of Nicolaus Copernicus' De revolutionibus orbium caelestrum in 1543, Ptolemy's earth-centered cosmology was replaced by the Copernican sun-centered universe.
