An excellent description of how to build a mini-library on your phone or tablet. Very cool! If you’re waiting in a long line with nothing to do and no print book, read your phone!
i just got back in to work today. I went to the NYLA (New York Library Association) Conference last week; and as you might imagine even there the programs emphasized the great changes in all our lives brought about by greater access to information, e-books and media by the advancing technology.
Not surprisingly, I think this greater access to information, e-books and media items is cool too!
I love the fact that I can carry the bulk of my library with me on my iPad and read those books whenever I want to!
