Run a search using #chsconf09 and listen to the tweets emanating from this year's Charleston Conference, a well-established conference devoted to library acquisitions and collection development. The tidbits that I gleaned this morning were provided by @annielivre (Anne Behler of Penn State) a participant in the pre-conference workshop on ebooks (Ebooks - Not Just Another Binding).

The first tidbit shared was a cost of $100 associated with the book's "parking spot" while the second was the difference in cost per use for print ($28.00) vs the cost per use of digital ($4.00). The latter item was attributed to a representative from the University of Texas - Austin. While relying on Tweets for business intelligence can be a bit dicey, following up on those dollar amounts might prove worthwhile.
