Two new eBook/eReader workshops scheduled (Alliance & North Platte)

eBooks and eReaders are coming into your library even if your library doesn’t officially support them. In this full-day workshop, Commission trainers Michael Sauers and Susan Knisely will walk you through the ins and outs of today’s eBook technology including hands-on time with a Barnes & Noble Nook Color, Amazon Kindle 3, Amazon Kindle Fire, and Apple iPad along with the OverDrive eBook lending service. By the end of this day you’ll feel more comfortable with these devices and be more confident in your ability to give your patrons the help they need. (This workshop does focus on public libraries but school and academic librarians will also benefit by attending.)
