The article looks at the challenges faced by libraries in managing and organizing their electronic book (ebook) collections. It is noted that a digital collection that is too large or poorly arranged can make it difficult for users to search for content. Topics include using the same criteria for weeding of ebooks as physical books, ebook format changes, and digital collection management tools such as OverDrive WIN (Want It Now), Top Circulation by Subject from B&T Axis 360. INSET: A Hard Look at Database Subscriptions.
