Library 2.0

STUDENT AND TEACHERS PERCEPTIONS OF E-TEXTBOOKS AND E-READERS NEW WAYS TO LEARN? In this age of information technology, the traditional notion of ‘literacy’, which is understood as ‘the ability to read and write’ is far from sufficient. In order to adequately characterize literacy in the 21st century, the definition has to capture the relationship between literacy and new technologies. Information and skills are indispensable concepts in the characterization of literacy in a knowledge-based society

Melvil Dewey is the man who invented the Dewey Decimal System. He is respected, and still remembered after many years of helping many libraries in organizing. He was a very good Educator, Scholar, and Journalist. Even though he didn’t have an easy life, he still moved on and grew into the man he is now. Melvil Dewey’s idea is still used as an example for many libraries. Melvil Louis Kossuth Dewey born on December 10, 1851, came from a poor family. He was very young at the age when he

the assignment, since I haven’t asked a library professional for help since I was in elementary school. I was anxious to see how the librarian responded to me and was interested in the quality of the resources we might find. Again, like the first part of the assignment, I wanted to pay close attention and look at my interview experience with fresh eyes. I wanted a different environment than what I experienced at the music library, so I chose a different library. When I went into the building, I

Founded in 1899, Northern Arizona University’s (NAU) first library opened with a dictionary and encyclopedia in its collection. Located in the central part of the NAU Flagstaff campus, it provides both physical and virtual environments that foster intellectual discovery, collaborative research, and access to technology (Library overview, 2016). As with most academic libraries, the research collections are critical to supporting the curricular and research mission of the university. As of April

I chose to observe the library I work for, which is the Squirrel Hill location of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh system. I performed my observation around 3:30 PM on Monday, September 19th. There are technically three outdoor entrances, but two of them actually lead to the main inner entrance. You can see the main entrance from the street, which allows paid parking. The library itself is positioned above a parking lot (also paid parking), which is where the second main entrance is seen. Both

Quality management has been extensively applied within the manufacturing industry over a decade. later, the service industry has increasingly emphasized this area. Quality management is increasingly integrated into library services, following their perceived success in manufacturing industries with particular emphasis on improving service quality.

materials for student use. I saw many poor children were unable to access books or buy because of their high costs. So from the donations I got from various people I started this library for their use. I also used to study in my library and teach the poor children. Gradually books and magazines kept on increasing in my library and now this has taken the huge collection. I was inspired by my father as he used to help the poor people and he taught me to help and teach other people. Although, this makes

Recent studies have highlighted a number of difficulties, that some have mentioned on above. Only half the print books acquired by academic libraries are available as e-books, that mean is not so important. When acquired individually, academic e-books cost substantially more than print editions. The preservation of e-books is especially difficult because it requires the long-term maintenance of
