I would ask all of Ha-Safran that question. Overdrive is the e-book lending service for libraries. Libraries may want to have Kindles on-hand for in-library viewing.

What type of technology will you recommend ?

Programming can still be emphasized including book clubs, story times for kids, etc. People still want reader’s advisories. E-book collections can be developed as well. ----------------- Heather Lenson Librarian at Ratner Media & Technology Center Jewish Education Center of Cleveland 2030 South Taylor Road Cleveland Heights, Ohio 44118 PH: (216) 371-8228 FX: (216) 371-2523 E-mail: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] On Behalf Of Andrea Rapp Sent: Friday, April 06, 2012 4:08 PM To: Hasafran Subject: [ha-Safran] Good news for books, bad news for Librarians Like I was saying..... http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/04/05/pew-e-book-survey-20-percent-of-u-s-is-reading-electronically.html Andrea Rapp __ Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) ================================== Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> To join Ha-Safran, update or change your subscription, etc. - click here: https://lists.service.ohio-state.edu/mailman/listinfo/hasafran Questions, problems, complaints, compliments send to: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Ha-Safran Archives: Current: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.service.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html Earlier Listserver: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org -- Hasafran mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://lists.service.ohio-state.edu/mailman/listinfo/hasafran
