Lending E-Readers and E-Books in an Urban Academic Library
Practical Academic Librarianship: The International Journal of the SLA Academic Division 2(2):1-17, 2012 © The Author(s) http://journals.tdl.org/pal Brave New Library World: Lending e-readers and e-books in an Urban Academic Library Stefanie Havelka Lehman College, City University of New York Jennifer A. King Lehman College, City University of New York Adelaide Soto Lehman College, City University of New York Abstract In Fall 2009, the Leonard Lief Library of Lehman College developed a pilot e-reader and e-book lending program, making Lehman the first campus within the City University of New York (CUNY) system to introduce these new services. The following article describes the project from a practical viewpoint, discussing e-reader and e-book vendor selection, user guides, training, lending logistics, and marketing, as well as unanticipated challenges. Keywords: e-book, e-readers, academic library, lending, OverDrive, Sony Reader Corresponding author: Stefanie Havelka [email protected] 1 Practical Academic Librarianship: The International Journal of the SLA Academic Division 2(2):1-17, 2012 © The Author(s) http://journals.tdl.org/pal The Wild West of e-readers and e-books When the Leonard Lief Library initiated its e-reader and e-book program in 2009, we anticipated the evolution of this environment, but we could not foresee the magnitude and rapid pace of change. In 2011 the Association of American Publishers stated, “E-books grew a dramatic +164.8 percent in December 2010 vs the previous year ($49.5M vs. $18.7M).” A number of companies, such as Sony, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble, have introduced new products and revamped their existing lines of e-readers. -
An E-Book Revolution
AN E-BOOK REVOLUTION 1 Published : 2011-07-08 License : None INTRODUCTION 1. Reading And Leading With One Laptop Per Child 2 1. READING AND LEADING WITH ONE LAPTOP PER CHILD "The Readers are the Leaders" The Author's Mother George Pal's movie The Time Machine has spoken to me ever since I saw it at the local YMCA as a child. In it Rod Taylor the Time Traveller travels hundreds of thousands of years into the future to discover that humanity has split into two branches: the beautiful, passive Eloi, and the repulsive, cannibalistic Morlocks who live underground and use the Eloi as cattle. It is strongly implied that the Eloi achieved their degraded state because they neglected reading and did not take care of their books. At the end of the movie the Time Traveller returns to the Eloi with a gift that he will use to help them regain their humanity: three books. We are not told which ones. If this vision of the future is less likely now than it seemed to me when I first saw the film, much of the credit is due to volunteers that are working to preserve books in the public domain in electronic form, and others creating new works with Creative Commons licenses that allow free distribution. Of course having books in electronic format would be of no use if there was no way to read them. In The Time Machine the Eloi had magic talking rings that would tell them stories when they were spun on a special table. -
