The 57-page study presents data from a survey of 96 North American academic library directors, deans and university librarians about their current practices and plans for the print book collection. The study looks at the relative intentions to build the print book vs. the eBook collection, pinpointing the types of college and individuals most likely to build up one or the other, both or neither. Also, the report gives detailed data on the percentage of purchases sourced from Amazon, YBP, and Coutts. The study also presents detailed data on the percentage of overall sales accounted by discretionary books sales, and the percentage accounted for by standing orders. In an open ended question, survey participants discuss how they expect their print book purchasing policies to change over the next few years. In addition, the report relates mean, median, minimum and maximum levels of spending for the institutions sampled, with data for the 2017-18 and 2018-19 academic years.
