When faculty laptops are recalled for the summer, maybe we should install kindle app and some of these papers on them.  Most people won't read them, but a few might get curious.

Probably won't be recalling them this summer. But I like the articles! I'd like to get the Ning up and running and advertised before summer break. It would be great to have a place to get those that are interested reading, thinking, discussing the possibilities!

Coming in behind Internet, entertainment, games, business, social networking, email, education and reading uses, the only thing users turn to their iPad for less than app use, said CIRP, is shopping

I only skimmed this article!

We need to analyse and come to a better understanding of the impact of technology, and in particular our 1:1 implementation in the Secondary School, on students and their media habits. Asking students to be using books more may not be the answer, and in fact may be a reactionary approach. Maybe we need to reduce the number of books on shelves to provide room for better designed spaces e.g. 'sound-proofed' smaller areas where 4-5 people can plug a laptop into a large flat screen and collaborate over research or other online/multimedia task Maybe we need to set up podcasting stations and higher-end computers for enhanced video work in areas that all can access, not just in specialist rooms Maybe we need to initiate more discussions based on the reading material available, eg latest magazines and encourage higher order thinking through interaction with other communities and libraries via video conferencing and virtual classrooms

those are quotes from the post. this is part of what i envision for the future of our library.

Wow - I thought that was your own thoughts - definitely on point
