You are invited to participate in a research project titled, An investigation into initiatives to improve the Return on investment (ROI) of e-Book subscriptions: a case study of the University of KwaZulu-Natal Library. This study aims to help the University of KwaZulu-Natal library understand how e-Books are used by the university community and the challenges experienced. The findings will further help the library address these challenges to optimise the use of their e-Book subscriptions to improve their RIO.

This study has been ethically reviewed and approved by the UKZN Humanities and Social Sciences Research Ethics Committee (HSS/2017/018M) and the University of Pretoria: Research Committee of the Department of Information Science.

Please take a few minutes to assist me by completing the attached questionnaire. It should not take more than 25 minutes of your time.
