E-books and Libraries: Providing Access and Planning Ahead
http://www.slideshare.net/chadmairn




                        @cmairn
My agenda today is to quickly …

  share some thoughts on the
future of reading electronically,
repurposing space, discovering
       new books, and ...
Joint-Use Library
My Library serves …

        College Students and Faculty
Collegiate High School Students and Faculty
            Public Library Patrons


So, e-books are used differently.
Future


Shock
In 1971, Michael S. Hart (1947 –2011)
   created the first e-book by typing the
     Declaration of Independence into a
computer. Project Gutenberg was launched
  and now e-books are over 40 years old!
e-ink vs. LCD/OLED screens
E-Ink Hybrid Display!

Color e-ink: A Game Changer?
E-books and Libraries: Providing Access and Planning Ahead
The form of the book has
  changed over time.

The ‘book’ is the content,
    not the package!
“Hardly any information technology
goes obsolete. Each new one throws
    its predecessors into relief.”

          James Gleick.
Be an advocate
  for all of your
readers no matter
how or what they
  chose to read!

E-books and Libraries: Providing Access and Planning Ahead
Access vs. Ownership


         Who wins?
Should we even play the game?
    Should we have both?
I don’t think
e-book formats will
matter in the near
future. E-books, I
hope, will be like CDs
(i.e., they can be
played on most any
CD player).

Amazon? DRM?
So, will physical books be
completely replaced by … ?
And what
happened to
  LPs? Are
 they dead?
In the early 1960’s,
McLuhan wrote that
electronic media would
replace visual culture
with aural/oral culture.

He called it “electronic
interdependence.”
DRM-free e-books

Repurposing the library

Are you
 currently
 weeding
 your
 physical
 collection?



 If yes! Then donate these
books to Open Library. More

“If libraries are no longer storage
   spaces, I think they become
knowledge performance spaces.”
                                  Source: @rmazar




Share you space. Foster collaboration.
Facilitate discovery. “Rethink possible.”
Privacy and your rights
The 2010: E-Book Buyer's Guide to E-Book Privacy answers the following questions:


o Can they keep track of book searches, either on their website or on the website of
  other e-book sources?

o Can they monitor what you're reading and how you're reading it after purchase and
  link that information back to you? Can they do that when the e-book is obtained
  elsewhere?

o Does the device have limited compatibility with books not purchased from an
  associated eBook store?

o Can they keep track of book purchases? Can they track book purchses or
  acquisitions made from other sources?

o With whom can they share the information collected in non-aggregated form?

o Can they share information outside the company without the customer's consent?

o Do they lack mechanisms for customers to access, correct, or delete the
  information?

                                                               Source: http://goo.gl/SwsNB
E-books and Libraries: Providing Access and Planning Ahead
The E-book User’s Bill of Rights
• the right to use e-books under guidelines that favor access
  over proprietary limitations.

• the right to access e-books on any technological platform,
  including the hardware and software the user chooses.

• the right to annotate, quote passages, print, and share e-book
  content within the spirit of fair use and copyright.

• the right of the first-sale doctrine extended to digital content,
  allowing the e-book owner the right to retain, archive, share,
  and re-sell purchased e-books.

Book Discovery/Recommendations
QR (Quick Response) codes can help guide mobile users in
your physical spaces come visit your digital library spaces.
E-books and Libraries: Providing Access and Planning Ahead
Broward County’s idea
spawned another idea. The
   key is to at least try
     something new.
Offer free workshops for the public
and ask people to bring their devices!
Help local authors get published
A complete self-publishing platform.




                                       Converting text to EPUB format using Calibre




Upload local content to
“Community Reserve.”
Authors are slowly bypassing
publishers and this will continue.

Libraries are a middle-man too.
 What will happen to libraries?
Visit a library and/or a store (e.g.,
Best Buy) and play with a variety of
 e-readers/tablets to get a feel for
      the one you’d like to use.
I mention to out-of-state
library patrons to find out
   what e-book vendor[s]
   their library uses and
  search for a cheat sheet
 online. Or ask a librarian
           for help.
         Be ready!!



 http://overdrive.com/files/ebook-
          cheat-sheet.pdf
Popular E-book Vendors/Platforms

    3M Cloud Library       Freading
    Axis 360               Gale Virtual Reference Library
    Blio                   MyILibrary
    Books 24X7             OpenLibrary (not a vendor)
    EBL (E-book Library)   OverDrive
    eBrary                 Project Gutenberg (not a vendor)
    EBSCO                  Safari Books Online
The key is to practice. Use your e-
 reading device often, explore its
  functions, and read the FAQs.
Stay informed!
