Re: [LM_NET] GEN: Bookless Library

[Vicki Reutter <Vreutt@AOL.COM>]

I agree with Carol, that many administrators may be misinformed about the 
economy of e-textbooks. I know we received some free or inexpensive e-book 
subscriptions for Biology - only with the purchase of 125 print copies. I'm not 
sure 
if the e-books are in a pdf version with no images.

Also - how do we ensure all students have computer access? And - is the 
digital content adaptable for special needs? 

I discovered a blog by Mark Nelson that addresses pros and cons of 
e-textbooks for k-12 and many other aspects, such as cost of image reproduction and 
insight from publishers.
