eBook Average Check Out Time At Library Is 8 Days: ebrary Report

Library patrons are using their eReaders to check out books. According to a new report from ebrary, 92 percent of librarians find giving offline access to eBooks more or equally important than providing online access.

The report, which surveyed primarily academic librarians in March of 2011, also found that most libraries check out eBooks for an average of 8 days with 4-5 titles being the maximum number of loans available at one time.

Interestingly, a majority of the respondents thought that library patrons should pay checkout fees for eBooks.
