  • They argue (or school administrators hear) that it is now up to the teacher and a more modern classroom dynamic to manage this rapid, Internet-fed information stream to support learning (Bonk 2010). Persons outside the library profession often do not realize that much of the information found in lib
  • They assert that school libraries should continue providing access to both digital and print-based information for as long as possible, and that these goals are not mutually exclusive (Gray 2009)

  • Those 150,000+ nonfiction ebooks are not bargain-bin titles offered as a group purchase; they are high-quality titles selected from a wide variety of university presses and academic publishers. It is important to note that the library does not own most of them. T
  • They have created a Patron Driven Acquisitions (PDA) model that is a win-win for both publishers and end users.
  • These "partnerships" with EBL and Amazon allow for a Just-in-time (JIT) approach to collection development focused more on access than ownership.

    We at the IMSLP believe that music should be something that is easily accessible for everyone. For this purpose we have created a music library to provide music scores free of charge to anyone with internet access, with several other projects in planning. IMSLP is also entirely collaborative, and all contributions are greatly welcome.

  • to’s study found that high school age students, when working on their own, interact with digital media in one of three ways: 1) “hanging out,” in social networks or online spaces such as blogs, chats or Facebook; 2)“messing around,” or tinkering with software to produce various types of media; 3) “geeking out,” a more serious exploration of one type of media or technology, often in online interest groups. Media to young people might mean Japanese anime, fan fiction, spoken word or rap poetry, video, music or any combination of different forms and styles of communication.
  • The activity at the center is designed to encourage young people to move along a continuum of engagement, from “messing around,” to “geeking out.”
  • YOUmedia center have an instant means of broadcasting their work and get instant feedback from other students and adult mentors. Broadcasting and networking is an essential part of the YOUmedia experience, one that echoes the way young people use technology on their own.

  • PRINT BOOKS: We joined book clubs. DIGITAL BOOKS: We discuss them in booklogs.
  • PRINT BOOKS: We find them in libraries, bookstores and bookmobiles. DIGITAL BOOKS: For people who own personal computers, e-readers, smartphones, iPads and other tablets, there's 2 4/7 access to libraries and bookstores for purchasing, borrowing and downloading material.
  • PRINT BOOKS: Scribble notes in the margins. DIGITAL BOOKS: We use Kindle's Public Notes virtual annotation application.

  • But they could be. Imagine looking up the notes that previous students leave in e-textbooks. Or seeing Jon Stewart's comments in the margins of Sarah Palin's latest tome.
  • PRINT BOOKS: Write to a favorite author, hope for a response by mail. DIGITAL BOOKS: Visit a favorite author's Facebook page to send a message and a friend request; follow that author's Twitter feed.
  • PRINT BOOKS: Collect an author's autograph at a bookstore reading. DIGITAL BOOKS:Use Autography, which debuts next month. It's a software program that allows writers to autograph an e-book using an iPad.
  • PRINT BOOKS: Want to publish a book? You'll need a proposal, an agent, an editor, a publisher and a marketing department DIGITAL BOOKS: Want to publish a book? There's an app for that, and authors can be quite successful. Amanda Hocking, JA Konrath and Karen McQuestion all are authors as famous for their aggressive self-promotion as for their books. However, self-publishing isn't always a good thing.
  • PRINT BOOKS: Donate used books to charity, sell them to a secondhand bookstore. DIGITAL BOOKS: "Used books" don't exist.
  • PRINT BOOKS:Swap books with friends. DIGITAL BOOKS: Until recently, the options were mostly limited to loaning your e-reader (and the books on it) to friends, or resorting to pirated files. Amazon's Lendle allows users to share certain (not all) Kindle titles for 14 days, similar to the way libraries arrange e-book loans.
  • PRINT BOOKS: Find an unfamiliar word in a book? Get a dictionary, look up the meaning. DIGITAL BOOKS:Use your e-reader to highlight the word and click on it, and the definition will display at the bottom of the page.
  • PRINT BOOKS:Collecting rare books, including first editions and antiquarian books. DIGITAL BOOKS:There's no equivalent so far.

  • You market, and your students share, books using social networking tools like Shelfari, Good Reads, or LibraryThing.

  • You know that searching various areas of the Web requires a variety of search tools. You are the information expert in your building. You are the search expert in your building. You share an every growing and shifting array of search tools that reach into blogs and wikis and Twitter and images and media and scholarly content.
  • You open your students to evolving strategies for collecting and evaluating information. You teach about tags, and hashtags, and feeds, and real-time searches and sources, as well as the traditional database approaches you learned way back in library school.
  • You work with learners to exploit push information technologies like RSS feeds and tags and saved databases and search engine searches relevant to their information needs.
  • You know that communication is the end-product of research and you teach learners how to communicate and participate creatively and engagingly. You consider new interactive and engaging communication tools for student projects. ● Include and collaborate with your learners. You let them in. You fill your physical and virtual space with student work, student contributions—their video productions, their original music, their art.
  • Know and celebrate that students can now publish their written work digitally. (See these pathfinders: Digital Publishing, Digital Storytelling)
  • Your collection–on- and offline–includes student work. You use digital publishing tools to help students share and celebrate their written and artistic work.
  • You welcome and host telecommunications events and group gathering for planning and research and social networking.
  • You realize you will often have to partner and teach in classroom teachers’ classrooms. One-to-one classrooms change your teaching logistics. You teach virtually. You are available across the school via email and chat.
