The purpose of this survey study is to determine the electronic book usage and preferences of Turkish lecturers. A questionnaire prepared by Neiman Library was used as a data collection instrument. The questionnaire, which was adapted into Turkish by making validity and reliability studies, was sent by e-mail to lecturers working in different universities in Turkey. Generalizable results were gained after analyzing the data obtained from valid responses. E-books are ranked third (74.8%) among electronic resources used by lecturers use and they are mostly used for research purposes. The preferred method of accessing e-books is via search-engines such as Google. Most of the lecturers stated that they would prefer reading a book in printed form, if given the option. What comes to the forefront in e-book reading preference is that lecturers read materials both from a monitor and in printed form (a combination of both media).
