Dan Gjelten and I write about the state of the ebook today in the University of St. Thomas’  The Bulletin Today. Read it really soon, by tomorrow it will be out of date. UST will have purchased more ebook content from more publishers and vendors; more publishers will have allowed users to download their books to their preferred device; more companies will have created devices; fewer people will resist the temptation of using an ebook; more people will seek out an ebook to use their snazzy new device (see above comment). In order to help everyone understand the complexities by vendor, ‘we’ve’ created (and by we, I mean Carolyn)  a LibGuide. Further, we have a LibGuide on textbook alternatives, most of which are ebooks, but NOT owned by the UST libraries. Much like the beginning of the journal migration from print to online we are witnessing a huge change in publishing and libraries. I sometimes think of the change from the tablet to the scroll and the scroll to the book. How everything had to be different to manage these new forms of communication and technology. Imagine having shelves that held those stone tables and along comes a scroll – and that scroll can be any height. Anyway, I digress. But you get my drift. It would be really exciting if we could just sit back and watch this evolve, but, alas, we have to make it all happen and happen seamlessly.
