Beginning March 4, 2013 Roncevic has been involved with e-books and e-readers since their emergence, and in this new eCourse she'll give you the foundation you need to make e-books work for your library. Requiring no prior knowledge of e-books, this eCourse will sketch in their history while showing you how they function in libraries, exploring issues ranging from file formats to delivery mechanisms and lending policies and what they mean for libraries both now and in the future. Topics covered will include: * Defining e-books and understanding how they work * Where e-books are available and how are they delivered and distributed * How e-books are used in libraries-in physical branches, digital branches, library websites, and in classrooms Mirela Roncevic is an independent writer, editor, and content developer recognized for spearheading a number of initiatives in the LIS field, including the overhaul of reference coverage in Library Journal. She has also managed publications of LIS books and newsletters and developed free online resources for librarians.
