@inproceedings{EkbergCamillaandCarozziBjurstromAndrea.2019, abstract = {E-book suppliers offer various ways to purchase e-books, such as Demand Driven Acquisition (PDA) models as well as different packages. Most often the package options include additional e-books that never were, nor will be, in demand in your Library. These additional e-books might not come with a great extra initial cost. However, they most probably will make an unnecessary carbon footprint. According to Landauer’s principle data processing will always require a certain minimal power expenditure. One way to make sure we acquire only e-books in demand is to handpick them, a method considered to be time consuming and costly. In this poster we use graphs and pictures to illustrate and evaluate the Humanities Library’s purchase pattern for e-books outside packages over the last 10 years. We compare statistics such as price, subject, access and different purchase options. Two different purchasing methods were used during these 10 years: EBL’s PDA-model (2009-2014) and acquisition from the GOBI Library Solution’s platform (2016-2019). In 2004, the University of Gothenburg became the first university in the world to be environmentally certified under both ISO14001 and EMAS. How can we incorporate environmental aspects into our future acquisition?}, added-at = {2019-09-26T12:14:47.000+0200}, author = {Ekberg, Camilla and Carozzi Bjurström, Andrea}, eventtitle = {Poster}, interhash = {e88fdea3bdf46704bde372d87cfd6b05}, intrahash = {4d06bbbc88fec7ce0558c4f43d1190c8}, tag = {greenbib}, language = {en}, keywords = {E-books; Sustainability}, timestamp = {2019-09-26T13:01:03.000+0200}, title = {A greener option for e-book acquisition?
