Digipalooza 2013 is coming soon! July 24, 2013 at 6:50 pm. While we do love OverDrive, there are now other options available if our current provider can’t continue to compete in this ever-changing market. Look for daily updates from Cleveland if our wireless access holds up. Otherwise, you’ll be hearing from me when I return! Entry filed under: conferences. Back to the World of E-Books and E-Readers.

ALA Conference – Books to Go with Rachel Van Riel 6/23/12. How to increase circulation and patron satisfaction. Is a UK based firm. www.whichbook.net. Was created in partnership with UK Libraries. Her talk today is based on data gathered from UK libraries only, but she’d love it if librarians started gathering their own data in this country. Libraries today under pressure financially, politically( prove worth) culturally (to justify our role.). Reader- centered approach is best way to help. 200 user obse...

https://kpetlewski.wordpress.com/2014/02/26/the-world-of-teaching-tablets
The World of Teaching Tablets. February 26, 2014 at 2:56 pm. I based my choice of tablet classes on my monthly statistics from Google Analytics. For as long as I’ve been following my mobile stats, devices featuring the IOS have come in at the top. IPad is always #1, followed by iPhone and the iPod. It was a no-brainer that my community liked the iPad! Entry filed under: E-Books/ E-Readers. Computers in Libraries, Day 1. 1 Comment Add your own. April 8, 2016 at 8:19 am.

ALA Sessions ~ Reader’s Advisory in the e-book era; integrated advisory services. | Well Rounded Librarian
https://kpetlewski.wordpress.com/2012/06/29/ala-sessions-readers-advisory-in-the-e-book-era-integrated-advisory-services
ALA Sessions Reader’s Advisory in the e-book era; integrated advisory services. June 29, 2012 at 2:43 pm. I think all of us need refresher courses in Reader’s Advisory from time to time, unless we’re actively purchasing a variety of fiction – and I’m certainly not! This is why the session on Reader’s Advisory in the e-book era appealed to me. The panel of speakers defined. Plot – (For example, in most detective shows, they are considered “police procedural”). Most famous crime setting now is Scandinavian.

Hachette – the new Random House ? | Well Rounded Librarian
https://kpetlewski.wordpress.com/2012/09/13/hachette-the-new-random-house
Hachette – the new Random House? September 13, 2012 at 6:31 pm. I received an email from OverDrive this afternoon informing me that all Hachette titles will be increasing in price by approximately 220% as of midnight, September 30, 2012. I should have seen this coming, although I confess that I had hoped that it wouldn’t. Why not? Random House got away with it, so why shouldn’t Hachette take advantage of a captive audience as well! Is this what the publishers are hoping to achieve? Enter your comment here.

https://kpetlewski.wordpress.com/2012/12/14/back-to-the-world-of-e-books-and-e-readers
Back to the World of E-Books and E-Readers. December 14, 2012 at 3:21 pm. This past year has been a frustrating one for me as an e-book selector and an e-reader trainer. I found that I had to take some time to step back and just calm down. Ranting about the various publishers and their practices did nothing to remedy the situation. This is still true, even as we face another holiday season where our patrons will demand more e-books and need help with new e-readers. Entry filed under: E-Books/ E-Readers.

Computers in Libraries, Day 1. July 24, 2013 at 7:06 pm. After a thought provoking keynote. I was eager to get to the first session on 15 web trends for 2013. David Lee King is one speaker at the top of my list at any conference. I find him informative, practical, and always ready to share his own opinions on a variety of web topics. David didn’t disappoint! His primary message was that content is always first. Entry filed under: conferences. Digipalooza 2013 is coming soon! The World of Teaching Tablets.
