Abstract
La presencia del libro digital en la educación universitaria es una realidad. El objetivo principal del estudio es confirmar el desarrollo del libro digital en las 50 universidades de America Latina que mejor están situadas según el ranking de Scimago durante el año 2016. También se busca determinar el tipo de acceso al documento y las plataformas más empleadas. Como tercer objetivo se examinan las ventajas y desventajas que el personal de las bibliotecas experimenta día a día con el paulatino incremento de los libros digitales. Con el fin de responder a los objetivos planteados se consultan las páginas Web de las 50 instituciones analizadas y se envían encuestas a los responsables de los centros. Los diversos análisis confirman que todas las bibliotecas estudiadas ofrecen libros digitales a los usuarios universitarios. El 50% de las instituciones prefiere comprar el derecho de acceso a las obras mientras que el 40% combina la suscripción y la compra, siendo las plataformas más empleadas Springer y Wiley eBooks.
