WebBooks: Identification, Acquisition and Management

[Gerry Mckiernan]

          _WebBooks: Identification, Acquisition, and Management_

    Over the past several weeks, months, (and years?), there has/have 
been general and specific discussions relating to the identification,
acquisition, and management of E-Serials (e.g., E-journals, Pay-Per-
View/transactional access, cataloging, cost/benefit, etc.). However,
to my knowledge there has not been appropriate and analogous discussions
that relate to the identification, acquisition, and management of 
WebBooks. By WebBooks, I mean full-text (plus) monographic works that
are accessible over the Web [I _am_ aware of hand-held E-Book developments]

    I would be interested in beginning a discussion on these other
electronic publications, from production, to identification, to
selection, to acquisition, to cataloging, to access, to storage, etc.

    As Always, any and all contributions to the topic are most welcome.

    Joy!
