eBooks
The challenge to all librarians is effective use of our limited funds and resources. In a very small school such as mine, I have attempted to encourage the use of ebooks. In Tennessee, if a person has a public library card, then thousands of ebooks and audiobooks are available for free for between 7 and 21 days. Many students have tablets, iPods, smart phones or computers. If they have access to the Internet in any way, they can download ebooks to read or audiobooks to listen to. The steps are easy. Help documents and how-to tutorials are available to any who would be interested in using this system which IS SUPPORTED BY OUR TAX DOLLARS! If we are going to pay for it, we should get our money's worth. I do not want to see this cut from state budgets and the more it is used, the less likely it will be cut--so USE IT Tennesseans!
