| dc.description | Starting at page one. This on-demand webinar introduces participants to the e-book and e-reader market with a look at the devices, including the Kindle, Nook, and iPad. It also looks at market trends to show participants the foothold e-readers and e-books have in the market, and why it’s important for all libraries to have an e-book strategy. This archived webinar was originally presented October 25, 2011, as the first of four webinars in “Public Librarian’s Guide to E-Books: A PLA Webinar Series.” “Public Librarian’s Guide to E-Books: A PLA Webinar Series” offers a practical approach to integrating e-books, e-readers, and related e-materials into public library collections. The tone is down-to-earth and sensible—addressing the basics, such as why e-books and e-readers are important to libraries and providing a cookbook approach to adding e-books to collections of all sizes. Panelists: Geoffrey Kirkpatrick, director, Bethlehem (N.Y.) Public Library. Moderated by Carson Block, consultant. | en_US |
