Hello,

I would like to request an ebook version of this book be purchased and added to the library catalogue. One print copy of the 2nd edition is currently held by the library based in Gatton, however I feel that this is insufficient. This book is a highly valuable resource for anyone studying ecology, resource utilisation, resource selection, and other landscape ecology projects. There are two copies of the 1st edition (1993) held by the library, however there were major changes made for the second edition, including the incorporation of management and use of GIS data, which make the first edition insufficient for many applications.

Book details below:

Manly, B. F. J., McDonald, L., Thomas, D. L., McDonald, T. L. and Erickson, W. P. 2002, Resource selection by animals: statistical design and analysis for field studies, 2nd edn, Kluwer Academic Publishers, Dordrecht, The Netherlands.

I have discovered that this is available as an ebook (eISBN: 9780306481512), so I thought this would be a more cost-effective solution for the library than multiple copies of the print book since it is quite expensive.

Thanks very much.

Kind regards,
Naomi
