Thing 9: E-books

I purchased 11 Nooks for the library this past Fall.  It took us awhile to get all the kinks worked out, but once we did it was great.  It was truly a collaborative effort with the librarians in our BOCES sharing the many forms they created for their library’s e-book program.  Amy Carpenter, Stillwater HS librarian, created a wiki to store all the forms and other relevant information.  It can be found at: http://ereaderresources.wikispaces.com/.   I also purchased Overdrive Advantage, so that my students would have access to more e-book, then just the general Overdrive collection.
I took a look at Joyce Valenza’s eBook portal and there is a ton of great stuff.  I just sent the link to a kindergarten teacher that is going to have an ipad center next year.
