Plans to bring e-books to the WILBOR collection has caused a lot of buzz—happy buzz! And several good questions about compatible e-book readers. For answers, look to OverDrive’s website at www.overdrive.com Also, check out OverDrive’s Digital Library Blog at http://overdriveblogs.com/library/ another good way to keep current.
Speaking of compatible e-book readers, one such reader is the Nook from Barnes & Noble (the Kindle, not so much J) Read about the Nook in all its features, and now in all its color, at B&N’s website: www.barnesandnoble.com
And, in the November 1, 2010 issue of Library Journal hot off the press comes this feature article: Our E-Book Challenge: “...whether their arrival daunts or inspires, e-books are poised to affect how patrons read and how libraries serve those readers, help patrons access digital information, and foster a literate culture. These top take-aways from Library Journal / School Library Journal e-book summit illustrate that the hurdles abound, as do the strategies for how to approach them…”
Remember EBSCO libraries, you have access to Library Journal in full text via EBSCO—read and ponder the advent of e-books @ your library!
