In many cases, it may simply be the format; one is in print and the other is electronic. For example our library contains both the print and electronic versions of Philip B. Heymann’s Terrorism and America: A Commonsense Strategy for a Democratic Society. Sometimes, two copies of a title may represent different editions of the same work (in this case, often the newer edition is in e-book format).
