Abstract

This article is based on a workshop given by the author at the 2007 UK Serials Group
Conference, entitled “Understanding, Implementing and Using the COUNTER Code of
Practice for Books and Reference Works”. Ebooks seem set to flourish in 2007, with great
interest from publishers and librarians alike. The COUNTER Code of Practice for Books
and Reference Works, first released in 2006, provides standardization that can help with
the tracking, comparison and analysis of ebook usage. Publishers and aggregators of
ebooks and online reference works are urged to adopt and implement these standards at
their earliest convenience; and feedback is actively sought from all interested parties.
