Abstract:
This on-demand webinar explores strategic consideration in adding e-books, as well as project management fundamentals (shared in a down-to-earth fashion) to ensure a good start as well as a sustainable effort. Learn how to determine the total costs of an e-book or circulating e-reader program, including startup and ongoing costs; understand the risks; measure effectiveness; and more. Also shares some worksheets to help libraries kick off their own e-book or e-reader program.
This archived webinar was originally presented November 15, 2011, as the final of four webinars in “Public Librarian’s Guide to E-Books: A PLA Webinar Series.” Recording sold as an on-demand webinar until June 4, 2012.
“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.
