I've acquired a few titles by Greek-American authors published by iUniverse, and have
lists of other titles of interest published by CreateSpace and AuthorHouse. From what
I've seen many of these titles have an e-book option, but I don't recall any, at
least at this point, being e-book/POD only.

The works of local authors have historically been one of my institution's collecting
foci, and we're now reaching the point where some of their works are appearing only
as e-books.
I'm curious whether other curators of local author collections are encountering this
and how it is being handled elsewhere. Has anyone begun acquiring e-books for special
collections? If so, are you acquiring devices or just files; commercial/proprietary
versions from the publisher or non-interactive PDF versions? What kind of file
management/digital preservation strategies have you put in place?
This is not yet something that we're tackling as part of our collection development,
but I see it rapidly and inevitably approaching. I'd very much appreciate your
perspective on the issue.
Best regards,
Juli
