Sažetak
Croatian libraries have not yet started acquiring e-books, although the interest for this new medium does exist. This paper gives an overview of the experiences with the acquisition of e-books in the libraries around the world (public and academic). Special attention is given to the models of circulation of this new medium, as well as the limitations that occur in the process. Namely, the models of orrowing/usage of e-books are strongly connected with significant limitations imposed by the publishing sector through Digital Rights Management (DRM) which affect the use and circulation of e-books. Therefore, libraries must be well acquainted with these regulations before acquiring e-books.
