  10. eBooks@FlindersResearch project • Project focus: How are eBooks faring in the Library in terms of collection use (includes acquisition, usage, issues, etc)? • Project scope: Internal/external, part-time/full time students and staff of Flinders University (self-selecting). • Project plan: Students/staff surveyed on eBook awareness/ issues etc. From survey results some invited to take part in targeted information literacy training/focus groups. Students/staff surveyed again post training to gauge effectiveness.

  11. “As instruction in the use of the expanding information sphere ascends in importance in academe...usage statistics will also likely become more important as a measure of the effectiveness of instruction…In cases where usage is low, instruction rather than cancellation might be the remedy.” Allen McKiel, Director of Libraries, Northeastern State University

  12. How about an eBook?

  13. How do I open this eBook?

  14. How come I can’t print this chapter? “The ‘borrowing period’ (1 or 4 days) is too short” Why does printing a chapter automatically start a borrowing period? Why do I have to login again?

  16. I think it is important to acknowledge that for many students, faculty and librarians, perhaps most acutely for librarians, e-books threaten the loss of something approximating the loss of a personal friend. None of the reasons associated with the utility and economics of e-books, no matter how eloquently and effectively stated, will remove the sting of the portent of loss. They will instead exacerbate it. For those still in mourning or denial, acknowledgement of the grief is in order. Allen McKiel, Director of Libraries, Northeastern State University

  17. Tully Barnett, Kate Douglas, Rosanne Kennedy, Anna Poletti and Judith Seaboyer. Reading Resilience Toolkit, http://chelt.anu.edu.au/readingresilience/ Rapture and Resistance: Students’ Use of eBook Readers in University Literature Courses “We hypothesise that students using e‐readers will demonstrate a range of significant skills relevant to literary studies and to building reading resilience” “Those reading via eBook will be highly active readers, attracted to the text as object and experiencing new ways of reading and engaging with the text.”

  18. Thank you!
