Abstract

This paper assesses title volatility in ebrary's Academic Complete subscription collection. Title volatility, titles withdrawn and added, challenge assumptions about the cost and curation of ebook subscription collections. The research reveals higher than expected title volatility, examines volatility using publisher and MARC record data and makes future projections.
