  7. Benefits of E-resources • Provide immediate access • Available 24/7 from the Internet • More powerful search tools • (i.e. full text indexing and link resolution) • Content is available for working online • E-resources are less expensive • Students & faculty prefer using e-journals; e-books lag behind Sources: http://www.hku.hk/oms/jxia/us/pitt09.jpg http://apps.internet2.edu/images/Dartmouth-student-voipphone.jpg

Signs of the Eclipse • Kindle, Sony E-book Reader • Improved devices—i.e I-phones • Open standards for mobile devices—i.e Android • Mobile Internet Access—i.e. Wi-Max • Google—scanning collections of e-books • Publishers stockpiling e-book collections • i.e. MyiLibrary—100,000 • Adding 1,000/wk http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Amazons-Wireless-Reading-Device/dp/customer-images

  9. Beyond Paper • The web will be the primary source of information • Books and Journals will continue to move to the web • It will continue to expand in depth and complexity • Web sites connected to data will proliferate • Hamersly Library currently has 98 information databases • Websites are connected to databases • Discovery and manipulation tools will evolve • i.e. e-brary paragraph search, RefWorks, automated note cards Sources: http://www.mobileread.com/upload/news/2005-12/iliad.jpg http://jkontherun.blogs.com/jkontherun/images/sony_reader_2.jpg

  10. Library Strategies • Collection Development • Comprehensive Instruction http://library.nsuok.edu/tutorials/index.html

  11. Example Collection Development Strategies • Identify curriculum relevant web content • Index by course on library web pages • Buy access to journal collections that are relevant to the curriculum • Use cancellations of duplication in print to fund purchases • 1 print title buys 31 e-journals • Purchase e-books in collections that are relevant to the curriculum • $3 for e-books versus $51 for print • At this point its value is primarily as a research collection rather than cover-to-cover reading

  12. Instruction Strategy • Association of College and Research Libraries • Comprehensive Instruction • Horizontally – i.e. all incoming students • Vertically– i.e. specific to departments & courses • Instruction using modules http://library.nsuok.edu/tutorials/index.html Sources: http://www.guidrynews.com/SanJac.htm
