2011 Technology Survey
Graphs and data on succeeding slides are credited to SLJ and
available at http://www.schoollibraryjournal.com/slj/home/890197-
312/sljs_2011_technology_survey_things.html.csp
• 1,187 U.S. school librarians
  respondents
• Included public and private school
  librarians
• Included elementary, middle, and
  high school librarians

   Facts and Conclusions from
  SLJ’s 2011 Technology Survey
The number of
              ebooks in school
              libraries is growing,
              with about a third
              of respondents
              saying they now
              have them in their
              collections.

 Facts and Conclusions from
SLJ’s 2011 Technology Survey
On average, ebooks
              currently account
              for approximately
              0.5% of school
              libraries‟
              collections.




 Facts and Conclusions from
SLJ’s 2011 Technology Survey
Last year alone, K–
               12 school libraries
               spent an average of
               $939 each on
               digital books, from
               a low of $390 at
               the elementary
               school level to
               $1,749 in high
               schools.

Facts and Conclusions from
SLJ’s 2011 Technology Survey
During the coming
              two years, an
              additional 28
              percent of libraries
              expect to add
              ebooks, while 43
              percent say they
              may consider
              adding them to
              their collections.
 Facts and Conclusions from
SLJ’s 2011 Technology Survey
While 63 percent of
             those surveyed say
             that they can‟t afford
             to buy digital books,
             the biggest obstacle
             to ebook acquisition
             is libraries‟ lack of
             digital devices (67
             percent).
 Facts and Conclusions from
SLJ’s 2011 Technology Survey
Overall, library
                users most often
                use the library‟s
                computers to
                read ebooks.
                Dedicated
                ereaders are
                used in about
                30% of schools.
 Facts and Conclusions from
SLJ’s 2011 Technology Survey
Competing platforms
              are another major
              hurdle. The array of
              ereaders is daunting,
              vendor practices
              aren‟t school
              friendly, and
              administrative
              requirements
              overwhelming.
 Facts and Conclusions from
SLJ’s 2011 Technology Survey
Digital rights
              management is
              more of an issue
              for high school
              librarians (31
              percent) and for
              librarians under
              age 35 (36
              percent).
 Facts and Conclusions from
SLJ’s 2011 Technology Survey
Over 84% of
              school librarians
              anticipate having
              ebooks in their
              collection five
              years from now--a
              14-fold increase by
              2016, to 7.8
              percent.

Definition
Electronic books (ebooks, eBooks, e-
books, Ebooks, etc.) can be anything from
the digital version of a paper book, to more
interactive content that includes hyperlinks
and multimedia. eBooks can be viewed on a
desktop computer, laptop, smartphone or
ebook reader.
Definition
A document file format is a text or
binary format for storing documents
on a storage media. A writer or
publisher has many options when it
comes to choosing a format for
publication.

Definition
Digital rights
management (DRM) is a
class of access control
technologies that are used
by hardware manufacturers,
publishers, copyright holders
and individuals with the
intent to limit the use of
digital content and devices
after sale. It is intended to
stop the practice of piracy.
.mobi, .prc, and .azw
.mobi, .prc, and .azw
Overview: Mobipocket is a
French company that started out
in the days of PDAs was
eventually purchased by Amazon
in 2005. When Amazon decided to
develop the Kindle, it was a
logical step for the company to
use its own proprietary format for
the new device's eBooks.
.mobi, .prc, and .azw
DRM: The Mobipocket format
allows books to be locked with
Digital Rights Management (DRM)
or not. When an encrypted file is
downloaded from a retailer it is
locked to the user's registered
device. The Kindle uses the same
DRM as the old Mobipocket
format.
.mobi, .prc, and .azw
Extensions:.mobi, .prc, and .azw.
There are no functional differences
between these formats, and the
files are exactly the same.
.mobi, .prc, and .azw
Devices: Kindle eBooks can be
read on any of the Kindle devices,
as well as in any of the Kindle
Apps for PC, Mac, iOS, Android,
Blackberry, etc.
.epub
.epub
Overview: The ePub format was
developed as an industry-wide
standard for eBooks. It is based on
a variety of other technologies and
standards, but its uniqueness is in
how it combines these standards
to provide a solid formatting
foundation for eBooks of just
about every shape and size.
.epub
DRM: The most popular DRM
option for ePub files is Adobe
Content Server, which is utilized by
Sony, Barnes & Noble, and many
other eBook stores. Apple's iBooks
application (on the iPad) utilizes
Apple's own Fairplay DRM, which is
not compatible with any other
eBook device or application.
.epub
Devices: ePub books can be read on
Windows and Mac computers with
Adobe Digital Editions; on the Barnes &
Noble NOOK and NOOKcolor; on all of
the Sony Reader devices; on the
iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch in iBooks and
in other apps; on the Android system
in Aldiko and other apps; and on Linux
computers and other handheld devices.
.epub
Devices 2: ePub books can also be
read online in Bookworm and in Ibis
Reader, a very good web-based
reading system that can be accessed
by mobile phones and computers, and
is designed to be used quite effectively
on the iPhone and Android devices.
.pdf
.pdf
Overview: Originally developed by
Adobe Systems, PDF is a file format
that preserves most attributes
(including color, formatting, graphics,
and more) of a source document no
matter which application, platform, and
hardware type was originally used to
create it. PDF files can be created on
your computer by a variety of
programs, including Adobe Acrobat.
.pdf
DRM: PDF files can be DMR locked,
both with the built-in password option
and with Adobe Content Server
through Adobe Digital Editions.
.pdf
Devices: PDF files can be read on
most computer systems with Adobe
Acrobat Reader or similar 3rd party
programs. They are also supported in
Adobe Digital Editions, a free eBook
library and reading program available
for Windows and Mac machines. The
Kindle DX and support PDF files
natively (without the need to convert
the file).

                     Consideration
                       Function


In addition to eReader duties, a tablet computer allows you to use a
variety of apps on them, similar to use on smartphones like an
iPhones or Android phones. Depending on the model, tablets can
record video (sometimes in HD) and take high-quality photos. With
a tablet, you can play music, watch movies, browse the entire
internet including your social media websites, play games, print
wirelessly, email, use Google maps, play games, manage your
calendar and contacts, and more. With most e-readers, you have
limited browser functionality. Some function as MP3 players, and
some don't. They are devices that were designed for book reading,
and not much else.

Should I buy eReaders or tablets?
                      Consideration
                         Screen


eBook readers like the Kindle and Nook use e-Ink (electronic ink)
screens. These screens are matte instead of glossy, which means
that they do not get reflections or glare even in bright sunlight.
They do not emit their own light, so the effect of reading on these
screens is very similar to reading from paper. e-Ink is not capable of
displaying media like color photos or video. It is made to render
words in a very print-on-paper type of way. Tablets have LCD
screens, just like any touch-screen phone, or a laptop screen. LCD
screens are back-lit, meaning that they emit their own light. The
screens are glossy, which means that they get reflections and glare
in sunlight. They are capable of displaying video and animation.

                        Cost


Currently tablet computers are priced at around $500-$800. The
cost of eReaders keeps dropping. As of this morning (2/3/12):

                     Consideration
                     Size and Weight


eBook Reader devices generally all weigh about the same as a
standard paperback book -- about 8 oz or so. Tablets weigh
approximately 2 to 3 times that much. This all varies with each
specific model.

                       Consideration
                        Battery Life


The battery life of e-readers is significantly better than that of tablet
computers. e-Readers can typically go for a month or more of
regular use without having to be charged. Tablets run out of battery
life within a few hours or so. This is mostly due to the screen type
(discussed above) and the fact that they do a lot more internal
processing.
