Evaluating Business Models for E-Books Through Usage Data Analysis: A Case Study from the University of Westminster

As part of a review of e-book suppliers, usage data were analysed to determine which of the business models on offer gave best value for money. Two analyses were carried out. The first compared a range of subscription options from a single supplier, and the second compared business models from two different suppliers.
