[aisle] supporting summer learning with ebooks

[Leah Krippner]

Go easy. (It’s easy to add more if the demand is there.) I added a bunch of titles as we headed into elearning only to have them mostly sit...despite my “helpful” video on how to access and download. Research shows people under 25 HATE ebooks. Don’t spend your whole budget here (at least not until the demand is demonstrated.) Buy a few known “hits.” See how it goes...
