eBooks and Digital Collections for the High School Library.


Sanborn, L. (2014). eBooks and digital collections for the high school library. School Library Monthly, 30(6), 14–18. Retrieved from http://libaccess.sjlibrary.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=ehh&AN=97266167&site=ehost-live&scope=site

Sanborn wrote an update to the 2011 eBooks and Digital Collections guide that was published in School Library Monthly. Her suggestions reflect the shift from eBooks to eContent, including distinctions between scholarly eContent, eReference and eFiction. She gives recommendations and estimated price ranges (from 2014) for each suggestion.

I found many of her suggestions very useful, especially suggestions for streaming of video content. Managing our movie collection has become a challenge as we have DVDs, but none of our teachers have CD drives in their computers anymore.
