Abstract

This live is part of the Information Records project: dialogues between Librarianship, Archival Science and Information Science (CI); coordinated by the Superintendent of the University Library System (SIBI/UFBA), professor Ivana Borges Lins, in partnership with the Information Science Institute (ICI)/UFBA. Live mediated by librarian Jamilli Quaresma (SIBI / UFBA). Prof. Dr. Carolina de Souza Santana Magalhães (ICI/UFBA Professor) presented the research on scientific technical digital books, produced and marketed by scientific publishers. The study assumed that the current business models for digital books do not satisfactorily meet the criteria for managing free acquisition in Brazilian university libraries, taking into account the interests and needs of users. To contextualize, references were presented that deal with convergence reading, book history, business models, book production chain, digital content; a brief history of the book in digital format and a survey carried out in 2019, in Brazil, on the preference of which format people prefer to read were mentioned. She cited the elements that make up the electronic book: format, platform, Digital Right Management (DRM), reading device (Hardware). In addition to talking about the book production chain, including the electronic book, the characteristics of Ebooks' business models; showed the growth scenario of digital book collections in public university libraries from 2013-2019. The professor highlighted the need for public policies aimed at the acquisition of electronic books - which admit free circulation - and enable transactions between publishers and libraries to favor the preservation of public and unrestricted access in the digital age. She proposed a multidimensional model with parameters for the management of digital books in university libraries.
