In reply to @septembermommy

StacyFord77 Apr 3 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A2: with an upcoming deployment of more devices I think ebooks will be easier to use and therefore circulate more P2. #tlchat

septembermommy Apr 3 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A2: we have abt 200 that never get used, I'm terrible at promoting. Too hard to "check out" = no circulation #tlchat

A2: To promote ebooks, I like to post QR codes (linked to book trailers) on shelves where the ebook would traditionally be located. #tlchat

TGaussoin Apr 3 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A2:I use eBooks in lessons with Ss a lot- this helps them know what's there #TLchat

LynnMWeeks Apr 3 @ 8:26 PM EDT

A2 - I used to have "long block" classes that had ssr time - I promoted eBooks & it did wonders for usage #TLChat

RLong308 Apr 3 @ 8:26 PM EDT

A2: Yes. Some eBooks unlimited copies, others costly 2 get multiple copies. Elem Ss try using eBooks, "work in progress". #tlchat

If using MackinVIA they have some amazing ebook promotion materials all free! #tlchat

#tlchat We use Follett Lightboxes via Destiny and many of our Ts are using Epic. We also use Big Universe.

A3: W/my Ss who are in "eBook families" I see heavy use of device+eBook. Like many things, it's what you know/are comfortable with. #tlchat

BragAboutBooks Apr 3 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A4. Currently most of my ebooks are for research. Multiuser helps. Have plenty for pleasure but it is increasing in usage slowly #tlchat

StacyFord77 Apr 3 @ 8:47 PM EDT

And now I bow out to read print books to my own kiddos. Mercy Watson and Wizard of Oz. #tlchat

A4: why instruction/research: seemless move from web to ebooks #tlchat

A3: One of my first grade teachers uses them in centers and I try to promote them just as much as I can-ebooks and audio #tlchat

books2know Apr 3 @ 8:48 PM EDT

Great idea! And for over spring break and summer too. #tlchat

A3: Inspired 2 read "A Thousand Splendid Suns" instant gratification w/eBook! Enjoy books too! Some Ss tech savvy, others reluctant. #tlchat

septembermommy Apr 3 @ 8:49 PM EDT

Anyone have a template for this idea?? #tlchat

congerjan Apr 3 @ 8:47 PM EDT
I do the same thing @ccls531. I put the book trailers in a bin but I like the idea of it being on the shelf where the book would be! #tlchat
- ccls531 Apr 3 @ 8:24 PM EDT
  
  A2: To promote ebooks, I like to post QR codes (linked to book trailers) on shelves where the ebook would traditionally be located. #tlchat

stony12270 Apr 3 @ 8:49 PM EDT

I feel the same! So happy to see #futurereadylibs connecting & learning together on a school night! #tlchat

A3 #tlchat Teacher perceptions of eBooks is they’re nice if we had the technology. Student want them, teachers not so much.

septembermommy Apr 3 @ 8:51 PM EDT

I always think about promoting ebooks before summer break and then get busy #tlchat

My K-5 Ss use BookFLIX & TrueFLIX in lib centers as well, along w/other eBook sites. They love the "read to me" features! #tlchat

A5: different devices, no devices to access, small/no budget to puchase #tlchat

stony12270 Apr 3 @ 8:53 PM EDT

I'm thinking Ss could help with this... I'm going to work on this! #tlchat

A5. Multiuser versus single user and time/checkout limits Wish it could integrate more into social media. Ss ❤️to hear from other Ss #tlchat

RLong308 Apr 3 @ 8:54 PM EDT

A5: Ss reluctant to checkout. Ss need reminders of eBooks & how to checkout. Titles can be limited due to cost. #futurereadylibs #tlchat

21stcentlib Apr 3 @ 8:54 PM EDT

A5: Ebooks are expensive. One of the ideas I'm trying to start a consortium. #tlchat

congerjan Apr 3 @ 8:55 PM EDT

So very true. 1:1 makes a big difference in eBook usage! #tlchat

Used QR code generator, took a screen shot of it, then put w/a pic of the book cover. Put on a fun index card. Laminated. Viola! #tlchat

For the consortium in PA we only bought non metered and non subscription books. Only ones we could own. #tlchat

In reply to @BragAboutBooks

congerjan Apr 3 @ 8:56 PM EDT

A.5 #tlchat we are fortunate to have a consortium in PA but it’s still hard to justify eBooks if they’re not being used!

In reply to @21stcentlib

ccls531 Apr 3 @ 8:57 PM EDT

Yes...and if the climate isn't personal device-friendly. #tlchat
