[ha-Safran] Ebooks and audiobooks in Hebrew and English available from Israeli public libraries

[Diane Romm via Hasafran]

I recently found out that Israel has launched a digital library through its 
public library system in conjunction with Overdrive. They are offering free 
downloads of ebooks and audiobooks in a variety of languages to anyone who has 
an Israeli library card.

Here's the site:

[ha-Safran] Ebooks for Jewish Libraries

[Israel Cohen]

Hello Karen --

I suggest examining the *Calibre* eBook management
 application to see if it is suitable for your
needs. Watch the easy-to-understand demo narrated by the application's
founder who has an Indian English accent. One of its features is the
ability to search the web for available copies of an eBook by author &
title and display the results sorted by price.

​
i use *Calibre*  to produce eBooks from MS Word
input. Our eBooks are available in PDF, ePub, AZW3, and/or MOBI formats.

   - A Kindle reader can display AZW3, MOBI and PDF formats.
   - The Nook and Kobo readers can display ePub and PDF formats.
   - Laptops and PCs can display Word and PDF formats.
   - iPads can display a variety of formats but usually require a special
   application for each. The Office application to *display* MS Word files
   on an iPad is free, but creating or editing Word files on an iPad requires
   an Office 365 subscription.

The *Calibre* application can display all eBook formats on a laptop or PC.
It can also mimic the appearance of text displayed on an iPhone or Android
device.

I work as an English editor of academic publications, mostly written by Tel
Aviv University (TAU) faculty.
​Some
 of these
​eB
ooks
​we have produced ​
would be an interesting addition to a Jewish Studies library:

   - *Why Was the State of Israel Really Established?*
   

   by Erez Casif 
   -
*​​ Moses: The Righteous Sky Gazer
   *
   ​
   ​

   


   by Shlomo Giora S​
   

   hoham
   

   - *Martyrs and Heroes*
   

   by Shlomo Giora Shoham
   - *Oedipus in Jerusalem*
   , a play by Kalman
   Kaplan
   

   - *Love and the Israeli Terrorist Terminator*
    by Macabee Dean
   
   ​ (a retired Jerusalem POST journalist)​

[ha-Safran] Ebooks for Jewish Libraries

[Karen Schlosberg]

In order to reinvigorate our library, we are exploring transitioning to an 
e-library with downloadable books. I am seeking information to determine if 
there is a Jewish library system for e-books, the software needed, if networks 
of different area organizations can be included in a subscription.

Thank you,
Karen Schlosberg

[ha-Safran] ebooks

[Israel Cohen]

Nina Stenzler asked for information about eBook lending programs.

I have some recent very favorable experience with *Calibre,* a free eBook
Management application. I used it to convert a Word file containing Prof.
Shlomo Giora Shoham's *Language, Culture & Myth: The Power of the Word* to
various eBook formats.

*Calibre* (French spelling) can be used to search for eBooks on the web by
author, title and/or keywords and sort the results by price, to convert any
eBook format to any other format, to obtain from the web, modify and store
catalog data about eBooks, to edit eBooks, and (for your patrons) to serve
as a PC or laptop reader for eBooks in any format.

You can see how to obtain *Calibre* and how I used it by downloading this
slide show from the public folder of my Dropbox:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2033458/LCM/LCM_PowerPoint_clean_4.pptx

*Language, Culture & Myth* is now available from Amazon at
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Language-Culture-Myth-Power-Word-ebook/dp/B01D24C9CM

There is a Wikipedia article about Prof. Shoham at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shlomo_Giora_Shoham
If you really want to know more about Prof. Shoham, get a copy of *Martyrs
and Heroes *at
http://www.amazon.com/Martyrs-Heroes-Shlomo-Giora-Shoham-ebook/dp/B00Z3W1UR2
Caution: *Martyrs and Heroes* is not for children or the faint-at-heart.

Disclaimer: I am the editor of both of these eBooks.

[Nina Stenzler]

Help! I am looking into providing my library with ebook access. We use Destiny 
Library Manager as our circulation software and they only have a product that 
works through an app. This cannot be accessed from regular kindle or nook 
devices. Does anyone have experience with an ebook lending program? any 
information is helpful.

Thanks!

[Tpardo]

Anyone else in a K-6 school library using ebooks?
I'm currently doing some research on what might be the best for my school.
So far Sebco and Capstone are top contenders.
Any particular recommendations for these or other options? Arguments for or 
against?
Thanks in advance

I'm wondering if there are any statistics on synagogue libraries
transitioning to e books.  Further, if anyone would care to share their
experiences with making this format available, I would be most appreciative.

Thanks.

Re: [ha-Safran] ebooks and our libraries

[Andrea Rapp]

The AJL May/June News has a very useful summary of this issue in Linda Silver's 
report on the Cleveland Chapter's recent program with a representative from 
Overdrive about ebooks in Jewish (or other) libraries.
Anyone contemplating signing on to ebooks for libraries would do well to start 
by reading her precis.

There will be an ebook session at convention that I am sure will answer
many of your questions.

[ha-Safran] EBooks

[Joan Tedlow]

Hi,

 

I'd love to read some comments (pro & con) about making ebooks available
in our synagogue libraries. 

 

I have several questions for those who "stock" ebooks: 1) Do you provide
"readers" such as kindles/nooks? If so, do you make them available for
listening in the library only or do you check them out to patrons? 2) Do
you buy the books or do you lease them from a company that allows you to
download them for a period of time? 3) How do you display the "books" so
that patrons can discover what's available? 4) Can more than one patron
check out an ebook at the same time? For a book club, for instance.

 

Thanks for your answers and comments!

 

 

 

 

Joan Tedlow, Librarian

Alpert Mendelson Library of Temple Solel 

760-436-0654, ext. 280

 

I am in the Library:  Wednesday & Thursday 10am - 6pm

Subject: Re: [ha-Safran] ebooks 

I've talked to some of our city's public librarians. 
There are some problems w/ ebooks and libraries. Check the waiting list for any 
popular title at your public library.  There are probably a hundred people 
ahead of you. 
 Another thing: the library doesn't really "buy" the book (or the files, in 
this case).  It pays an annual fee to be able to make them available for 
download to their patrons. And guess what, the publisher can decide to withdraw 
those files if it wants, and not renew the contract! But you've been paying for 
years? Too bad.   
I believe one of the publishers did just that recently, but I forget which one. 
EBSCO may be new in the field, and Susan will hopefully keep us informed if 
things are working differently than I thought.
