Sharing Knowledge and Experience on E-Readers at Volyn Research Library!

 In the frame of the seminar on February 27, 2014 the Window on America Center in Lutsk coordinator made the presentation “E-Readers at the Library in Ukraine”.

 

The main emphasis was made on the following topics:

1.      the nature of e-books and why they are important to add to library collections;

2.      the ins and outs of licensing, purchasing, and lending e-books;

3.         how to navigate e-books readers –Kindles;

4.        how to get started using the devices;

5.        how to find books, etc.

The librarians (about 30) were proposed to get information about a vast variety of automated information resources.

The present audience showed big interest in getting information about the electronic reading at the Center. 

With great pleasure we presented our work on Amazons Kindle format.

We truly believe that Kindle compatibility will allow Ukrainian libraries to serve millions of new readers and extend their valuable community role.
