Managing eBooks at Discovery College Hong Kong
http://bit.ly/11V9bkv Managing eBooks at Discovery College Hong Kong For the community to borrow from Wheelers they do need to register using their school email, full name, year group and date of birth (DOB is to assist in the blocking of titles to them, they do not know this when they register, but it can be overridden / corrected by the administrator if it is entered incorrectly).We opted for the option where administrator approves the registrations. The administration dash board is very easy to navigate and the customer support is excellent. So, our ePlatform has been officially launched and we now wait for our customers to sign up and get reading on their own devices. For those who don't own their own devices, we can use the Wheelers platform with the library Kobos. I am certainly loving the convenience of being able to download and read a book at any time of the day. |

Kobos : The E-reader of our choice
http://librarygrits.blogspot.hk/2011/11/e-reader-of-our-choice.html 'We have 15 Kobos in our library which we lend to students, I chose kobo as it is supported in HK, they can read a variety of formats and I do not have to purchase through Amazon.' (librarian) I was of the belief that the school did not need to supply e-readers for our students use as we are a 1:1 laptop school with most of our students having a smart phone of one variety or other, and many having their own e-readers at home. But, I changed my mind after listening to a web cast with Buffy Hamiliton and researched into e-readers and what would meet our specifications if we were to purchase some. |

eBook Options for Libraries
http://lisinfo.org/ebooks/latest/ eBook Options for Libraries Viable ebook options either provide libraries with ownership privileges or are free of digital rights management (DRM) software, ideally both. DRM is an inherently flawed technology that can be replaced either by creating better software or, more likely, by developing models that enable libraries to acquire ebooks and authors, editors, and others involved in publishing to get paid for their work. |

E-Books - the decision has been made

Will Your Local Library Lend E-Books? (Or Can They?)
http://rww.to/b6gGJf Will Your Local Library Lend E-Books? (Or Can They?) Amazon has recently (Nov 2010) touted that sales of Kindle books are outstripping those of both hardcover and paperback editions. And a Forrester forecast gauged that the sales from e-books for 2010 would hit over $1 billion. It seems as though the market for digital literature is strong. But according to some publishers, if libraries start lending e-books, it could serve to "undo the entire market for e-book sales." |

Free Ebooks
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/3-good-online-sources-free-ebooks-free-app-read/ Free Ebooks I’m going to cut through some of the confusion, and show you how to get, keep, and consume free ebooks. It’s a fairly quick skate across the surface though, so you’ll need to do some more work yourself. Just to clarify, ebooks, for the sake of this discussion, are books which are available electronically, rather than printed on dead trees, and which can be read on an electronic device of some sort. And completely free ebooks, just now, are those which are legitimately available for free. Other options exist. We all know that. |
