But lags far behind consumer eBooks sales…
Library spend on eBooks is still nascent
relative the consumer market. US libraries
spent $86M on eBooks in 2012 and over
$100M in 2013.4

2012 US Library Spend2 - $ billion
In 2013, 28% of US adults read an eBook,
up from only 17% in 2011.1 In the same
period, publishing revenue for eBooks grew
from $2.4 billion to $3.4 billion while the
overall market fell.2

… and cant keep up with demand
• Library budget cant keep up
with demand, so holds queues
are long
• Print circulation still greatly
exceeds eBook circulation at
libraries. eBook lending
accounted for 7% of US library
circulation in 2012, while print
circulation accounted for 59%.5
• Very few eReaders borrow
eBooks from libraries. Only 2%
of American adults borrowed an
eBook from a library in 2012,
which is only 12% of those who
read an eBook that year.6

eBooks are not reaching a broad diverse audience
NYC-based eReaders are wealthier and more educated than non-eReaders. Those who
read eBooks have higher average household incomes and are more likely to be college-
educated and employed.10

Library E-content Access Project
Vision: It’s time to build library-owned shelves -- the capacity to host and
distribute eBooks and launch a library owned eBook marketplace through which
libraries everywhere can buy.
This platform could:
• Be built and live within a few years
• Start with eBooks but eventually expand
• Follow and advance ReadersFirst principles
• Quickly become self-sustaining
• Offers a WIN-WIN for publishers
• Be decentralized
• Use a small portion of revenue to support other critical leadership work

How you can get

Potential next steps for Libraries
On Library Simplified:
(1) Spread the word
(2) Set up and support an instance of Library Simplified for Minitex members
(3) Join Readium as a full member (commercial price of $30k) and be able to
help member libraries (and possibly non-members) to set up their own separate
instances without paying the initial $5K to join Readium joining fee (4) With
other states or consortia, co-sponsor enhancement to LS that support MiniTex
mission, eg the ability to federate collections from many libraries
On LEAP (building the market place):
(1) Stay plugged into planning and thinking happening in DPLA working
groups
(2) Contribute to the building/doing in a small defined way (exact role tbd)
(3) Join emerging joint venture, contribute significant resources and become a
co-founder
