Before lis-ebooks started I posted a question here about take up of
NetLibrary services. I will summarise feedback for this list for what it
is worth!
The results were that all but two of the people who contacted me were at
the stage of checking lists and considering the possibility of taking one
or more collections at some time in the future. The current US bias is a
major concern, particularly in business and law. Two institutions have
taken collections, and both mentioned computing as a subject area that
suffers less from the bias towards US publications.
