I am aware that one person usually has his preferred research topic and direction. But one still belongs to a larger research area governed by the common principles. Thus I was curious to explore if Tatjana Aparac-Jelušić, a leading Croatian library and information science investigator, can be referred to in a text dealing with e-books in Swedish public libraries. Hopefully, we can prove that there are not only “centrifugal”, but also “centripetal” forces operating in our research field (Aparac-Jelušić et al. 2013, 1). Another goal of this paper is to present the initial results of our exploration about the impact of e-book usage conditions on Swedish public libraries and ebook loans. The text is based on the Master’s thesis by Holmstedt and Topelius (2015) and the survey conducted by Wilson and Maceviciute (2012).
