LIFE!!! WITH or WITHOUT e – B o o k s
Published 17 Years Ago “1990” 1,200 Baht
How would you FEEL???What would you THINK???What would you SAY???
Do we really need eBooks??? • WE don’t want subscription based e-books • Don’t like/use these Titles or Subjects • Publication Dates are “TOO OLD” • Researchers don’t really USE reference books
Can we AGREE that…INFORMATION is Extremely Crucial • Research • Teaching • Making Decisions • Solving Problems
Can we AGREE that…Lack of INFORMATION increases RISK • Of not Creating BEST Research • Of NOT teaching the best/current concepts • Of NOT making the best decisions • Of NOT implementing the best solutions
Current BIASES towarde-books!!! • Dislike subscription based e-books • Books TOO OLD!!! • Don’t use or like these Titles/Subject • Researchers really don’t use reference books
Now I will PROVIDE EVIDENCE for us to rely on a NEW PERSPECTIVE towards e-Books
This NEW PERSPECTIVE will allow us NOT to miss INFORMATIONthat is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!!!
Look at REAL Research • Sample Important Research Articles • Review Reference section • Analyze what type of INFORMATION was used to perform the research

Do we really need them??? • WE don’t want subscription based e-books • Don’t like/use these titles or subjects • Publication Dates are TOO OLD • Researchers don’t really USE reference books
e-BOOKS • Subscription - MORE titles updates & new titles are free • $8,000USD = 800 to 24,000 TITLES • Purchase Model or Perpetual rights -SMALLER collection but ownership • $8,000USD = 45 to 150 TITLES
