Sir 

It is the same in our Libray. Take Libray committee approval for the list of e-Books to be subscribed for particular year and finally competant authority. 

Dear Sir,

There are so many models of e-books available in the market, one is a subscription-based model. But, conventionally (whatever the history is) e-books is to be purchased like regular print books. 
Vendors come with their proposal that they will charge lesser amount on subscription-based titles, but I recommend books are be purchased not subscribed. The reason behind my argument is that the library collection especially books should exist for a lifetime or a more extended period. In the case of e-books, you will not be worried about the crunch of space.

You may directly contact publishers for supplying the e-books. Ask for the quotation and negotiate for a better price and place order. Do not forget the sign the license. License activity falls just after the release of PO. 
Vendors also promise to supply the e-books but better you directly deal with the publishers.

Plz note e-books mean not PDF there are several formats, advised to see them too.


Sir, if you wish to discuss with me on these issues, you may call me on 9970219639.

Thank you.

In a recent discussion myself had with Librarians, all 50,000+ NPTEL video lectures which has been transcribed into PDF document format can also be considered for using as free e-books/e-lectures in the digital library.


All the transcribed PDF copy of NPTEL video lectures can be downloaded through https://www.digimat.in or using DIGIMAT Learning App available from Google Play Store.

Thank you very much sir for sharing such a useful information.

Could you send if anyone have the list of publishers for e-book subscription and price for a period of 1 year.

Better to go for NList offering by INFLIBNET. As many as 60 thousand ebooks may access. Cost around 36,000 for one year. Besides you can access 10 thousand e-journals can access.
