Abstract
The author reports on a survey sponsored by the Art Libraries Society of North America (ARLIS/NA) that was sent to forty-nine museum librarians to gain a better understanding of the scope and scale of e-book creation in North American museums. The survey covered both digitized books and born-digital books and requested data from the libraries and the publications departments. Questions included volume of activity, file formats used, distribution methods (platforms, vendors, aggregators), metadata formats, use of preservation service platforms, use of digital rights management, content selection strategies, and staffing configurations. A particularly significant finding was the number of institutions making large quantities of their publications available through open access.
