Introduction
Ebooks have become the preferred format for our patrons at Wayne State University. Many health sciences ebooks are available through ebook packages, in addition to individual ebook purchases.
How are these ebook packages used? Do they satisfy our users’ ebook needs? Do the departments with a larger number of users use ebooks more? These types of questions always call for answers.
This study intends to investigate these questions by examining the usage of some major medical ebook packages to which the library subscribes.

"I use Doody's Core Titles throughout the year to update our collection. Once the new list is available, the Essential [Purchase] titles are reviewed. Those books that relate to our library are purchased right away. When our patrons suggest titles…I check to see if it has an expert review and/or Doody's score before I make my decision. Prior to weeding a title that seems old I check to see if it is still current by looking on the Doody's Core Titles. To fill gaps in our collection it is easy to find a title to add by looking at New This Month or the Titles By Specialty. Needless to say, Doody's Core Titles is our main collection development tool.
