E-Book Usage on a Global Scale: Patterns, Trends, and Opportunities

This study examines worldwide usage of over 600,000 e-books from Ebook Library (EBL) and ebrary. Using multiple modes of analysis, the study shows that there are variations in usage by geographic region as well as by subject. The study examines usage in relation to availability of titles, different types of usage per session, usage of the top ten percent of titles, and intensive and extensive use. These patterns can be used for benchmarking and as a model for local e-book studies.

Maria-Antònia Oliver o el plaer de narrar en femení

Maria-Antònia Oliver és una figura cabdal en la història de la novel·la policíaca en llengua catalana. Amb un personatge principal innovador en el panorama literari català dels anys vuitanta, Oliver destaca per una sèrie d’aspectes com són el seu personatge principal, feminista i representant del hard-boiled i la forta crítica social, especialment centrada en l’illa de Mallorca, aspectes que són objecte d’estudi en aquest article. Temes com el feminisme, l’impacte social del turisme o la situació de la llengua catalana a les Balears formen part de les seves obres i demostren el compromís social de l’autora mallorquina.
