If you haven't already come across the JISC ebooks project 'Patron Driven
Acquisitions (PDA) and the role of metadata in the discovery, selection and
acquisition of ebooks' there are some interesting survey results about:
Why ebooks are used
How ebooks are discovered
What metadata is most useful
See http://ebmotmet.wikispaces.com/User+Survey for the (small) survey
results. The project report is available online or can be downloaded.

is open to all http://ebmotmet.wikispaces.com/Home
