面向图书馆的大众类电子书服务的调查分析与启示

Investigation and Analysis of the Popular E-book Service of Libraries

通过对包括集成商、出版商在内的国内成熟的面向图书馆的电子书供应商提供的大众类电子书平台进行的问卷调研结果进行分析研究。从资源建设、技术特性和商业模式3个方面对比分析国内有代表性的大众类电子书服务的现状及发展。大众类电子书平台市场普遍存在新书占比少、纸电同步率不高;阅读体验有待加强等诸多问题。同时,各供应商之间的资源整合也会给图书馆提供统一服务造成困难。提出大众类电子书服务平台的发展过程中应提高数据开放程度,通过与图书馆合作深入调研用户阅读行为,加强电子书的阅读推广。

The paper makes an analysis of e-book service targeting at the general public based on questionnaires taken by domestic e-book providers for libraries, including integrators and publishers.From the aspects of resource development, technical characteristics and business model, the status quo and development of representative popular e-book services are analyzed. Popular e-book platforms suffer from a couple of prevalent problems such as the small proportion of new arrivals, the low synchronization rate of paper books and e-books, and the poor reading experience. At the same time, the difficulty in integrating resources between suppliers also make it less easy for libraries to provide unified services. The paper,therefore, proposes to e-book providers to increase the openness of data, and to promote e-book reading after studying users’ reading behavior in collaboration with libraries.
