[ISLMA-Share] Follett eBooks

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Hi!
I added all of the instructions to my school website, and I created bookmarks with the instructions as well.  I made sure that we handed each kid a bookmark when they checked out a book.  They all have smartphones.  I find reading on a smartphone to be completely obnoxious, but they seem to like it, and the app works well on the phone.  I buy audiobooks, too, which work great on their phones.  I also invited teachers to bring their kids in for a tutorial on using the app.  Teachers told their kids to bring their phones to class that day, and we went through the process together.

Hope that helps!
:)Kristina

Subject: [ISLMA-Share] Follett eBooks

Over the past few years, we have purchased a number of eBooks through Follett.  I'm trying to figure out the easiest and most cost-effective way to circulate them. Issuing students iPads or Kindle Fires to take home is out of the question. I had thought the base-line Kindle would be a good alternative (not a theft target, minimal computer access), but the platform doesn't seem to be supported.

How do you handle this?

Thanks -

Chris Wilson
