Iedereen die zich bezig houdt met de toekomst van de bibliotheek zou ‘[url=http://www.amazon.com/No-Shelf-Required-books-Libraries/dp/0838910548]No Shelf Required[/url]’ van Sue Polanka moeten lezen, een (e)boek over de toekomst van de bibliotheken en dan met name gericht op de vragen die ebooks opwerpen voor deze industrie.
Onlangs is er een vervolg verschenen op dit boek, ‘[url=http://www.alastore.ala.org/detail.aspx?ID=3525]No Shelf Required 2: Use and Management of Electronic Books[/url]’.
Het boek behandelt o.a. de volgende onderwerpen:
[quote]- Guidelines for performing traditional library processes such as cataloging, weeding and archiving, as well as advice on managing e-book accessibility for patrons with special needs;
– Explorations of topics such as the e-book digital divide and open-access publishing;
– Case studies from an array of academic, public and school libraries, offering firsthand accounts of what works, what doesn’t and why;
– Discussions of the emerging model of the electronic-only library and the rich possibilities of enhanced e-books.[/quote]
