Historic American Engineering Record
Historic American Landscapes Survey

The effects of the ebooks
There is a question of volume and value. eBooks sell many copies but are cheaper in terms of value. So they may change the way books are sold, but they don't bring in the same amount of cash.

The future of the ebook
Self-publishing is the
future
Our first eBook in Hebrew! A powerful love story about
soccer, forbidden love and more!

Harry Potter eBooks put on hold by JK Rowling
the final Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, is set for release this summer
so for the sake of rabid Harry Potter fans everywhere
we hope that Rowling makes up her mind about e-books by then.

Advantage of the e-books
Ebooks have the advantage of a tiny footprint and instant delivery.
Thanks to Kindle and iPad, reading ebooks has become cool.

E-books changed the world
Technology and Internet have changed things upside down in a lot of verticals. Ebook readers are spreading the culture of reading ebooks like wildfire.
Internet is by far the cheapest yet the most efficient distribution system with a global reach for digital products

eBook sales overtake paperbacks for the first time
At the moment only 5% of book sales in the UK come from ebooks
But the figure is much higher, at 13%, in the US – and it is likely that Britain will follow suit.

The library demand more e-books
Ebook is the futureholdings for libraries. "Libraries are always in a state of change as society changes, but obviously that rate of change is now escalating dramatically," Whitney said.
Ebooksare a key example need to increase the volume

E-books takes the advantage of the new technology
This after reports of weak sales for Motorola's Xoom and reported delays for future
Android 3.0 "Honeycomb" tablets;
specifically, some industry watchers are again calling for an Amazon.com
launch a tablet that could increase the sales of the e-books
Buy or sell from our eBook library and store.retrived from

The disadvantage of the ebook
FIVE things you can do with a book but not with an eBook.
1. Swat that annoying fly crawling on your arm at the beach.
2. Add it to your collection of favourites to be flicked through at leisure.
3. Lend it to your mates so they can enjoy it too.
4. Jot down the mobile number of the person you were flirting with on the train on the inside cover.
5. Read it on the loo without risking a costly accident.

Definition of literacy by United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO):
Literacy is the ability to identify, understand,
interpret, create, communicate, compute and use
printed and written materials associated with varying
contexts. Literacy involves a continuum of learning to
enable an individual to achieve his or her goals, to
develop his or her knowledge and potential, and to
participate fully in the wider society.
(UNESCO, 2009)

The History of Literacy
3500 B.C The earliest examples of graphic written
communication appeared
2500 B.C. Animal skins are used for scrolls in Western Asia.
1300 B.C. Chinese ancestors used oracle bones to
communicate
950 B.C. Leather was made and used for writing
700 B.C. Bamboo was used for writing by Chinese ancestors
200 B.C. Both Greeks and Romans used wax tablets, framed
and backed with wood, for note taking, orders,
correspondence, and other temporary information
(TIME-TABLE (CHRONOLOGICAL), 1998)

The History of Literacy (cont’d)
105 Chinese history recorded that papermaking was invented by Cai
Lun in Louyang, China. Paper had, in fact, been made in China
for at least two hundred years before this date. The first
papers were made from bark and used fish nets.
370 It was said 28 public libraries in Rome
868 The first book printed on paper in China in block
printed Buddhist scripts.

Future of literacy in a digital era
The concept of digital literacy was introduced by Paul Gilster in his book of the same name in 1997
It is an ability to understand and to use information from a variety of digital sources
It is regarded as literacy in the digital age
It has also been adopted by UNESCO as an important tool for national and international development
It is a framework for integrating various other literacy and skill-sets
(Bawden, D., 2008)

Future of literacy in a digital era (cont’d)
Digital literacy is seen as a linear series of sequential steps, typically:
recognising a need for information
identifying what information is needed
finding the information
evaluating the information
organising the information
using the information
(Bawden, D., 2008)

Digital literacy can be regarded as a cycle of five
supporting interrelated competencies
(Penchey, N., 2010)
ELT and the Crisis in Education: Digital Literacy,
(2010), Retrieved from http://www.deltapublishing.co.uk/development/elt-and-the-crisis-in-education-digital-literacy

Essential Competencies of Digital Literacy
1. ACCESS Finding and using media and technology tools skilfully
and sharing appropriate and relevant information with others2. ANALYZE & EVALUATE Comprehending messages and using
critical thinking to analyze message quality, veracity, credibility,
and point of view, while considering potential effects or
consequences of messages3. CREATE Composing or generating content using creativity and confidence
in self-expression, with awareness of purpose, audience, and composition
techniques4. REFLECT Applying social responsibility and ethical principles to one’s own
identity and lived experience, communication behaviour and conduct5. ACT Working individually and collaboratively to share knowledge and
solve problems in the family, the workplace and the community, and
participating as a member of a community at local, regional, national and
international levels

Issue of
Accessibility
http://miteigi.ru/

Format Accessibility:
EPUB 2.1 Charter. The IDPF, which now maintains the international standard for the EPUB format, is working to address many of the problems with the current EPUB specification, including rich accessibility and navigation and support for MathML. (Sue Polanka, 2011).
http://www.bookexpoamerica.com
/RNA/RNABookExpo_V2/images
/2011/logos/DigitalBookLogo2011.jpg

DAISY is the de facto accessible e-book standard. DAISY 3 and EPUB are supposed to “coincide” in EPUB 2.1, which ultimately means there will be an international standard e-book format that can be fully accessible. (Sue Polanka, 2011).
http://www.xul.fr/images/epub-logo.png

XPS is the favored format for K-NFB’s Blio Reader. XPS has a number of structural elements available in the specification, including sections, stories, paragraphs, lists, and tables. However, it is unclear how or if these structural elements will be made available to screen readers in future versions of Blio. (Sue Polanka, 2011).
http://www.hitechsphere.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/bliolead.jpg

PDF Accessibility from the PDF category on the Adobe Accessibility Blog: If readers are curious about the technical details for PDF accessibility, see the documents listed under the Slides from CSUN 2010 post. Screen readers can read accessible/”tagged” PDF. And if the PDF is well marked up, using headings and other structural elements, it is decently navigable by a screen reader. However, it is not in the same category of accessibility as DAISY. Currently, no screen reader is able to take full advantage of PDF document structure, though many do have basic abilities to navigate well-structured and tagged PDF. (Sue Polanka, 2011).
http://i.zdnet.com/blogs/adobe_pdf_icon.png

Finally, though we do not generally think of it as a book format, it should be noted that HTML is the most accessible document format available. (Sue Polanka, 2011).

Libraries
of the future
http://www.revitalizetrl.ca/

1. in 2020, books will be pushed aside for digital learning centers, the library system will undergo a complete transformation. libraries will create the world's largest library online. 2. in 2020, the goal of the library will remain the same. library building will not be a warehouse for books, it will be a community gathering center, a free place where people can access and share information.
John,D,S. (2009). CNN: The future of libraries, with or without books. Retrieved from http://edition.cnn.com/2009/TECH/09/04/future.library.technology/

3. libraries will use rss feeds, social networking sites, and virtual reference desk to communicate with patrons. libraries will create mobile apps for patrons to use library resources on their smartphones. libraries will stay open 24/7.

Libraries Positives: in the past, libraries have looked within for the metrics that would "prove" their value: numbers of books acquired, cataloged, and circulated; interlibrary loan requests fulfilled; visitors. today, user satisfaction is the measure of our success. the library of the future relies on a plethora of metrics to ascertain the difference that its facility (physical and virtual) makes on the ability of the organization to function like a well-oiled machine and measures the library's contribution to the work that others do based on the information it provides and the efforts of its staff.

libraries negatives: many students are embarrassed about not knowing how to use the library and are reluctant to approach the reference desk. the theory of library anxiety offers an explanation, proposing that a fear of being in and using libraries serves as a psychological barrier, hindering many university students from using the library efficiently and effectively. (carlile, 2007).

library challenges: the role of digital library development in future will face many challenges. "libraries will need to focus on e-science, e-research, e-books, web 2.0 & 3.0 and digital preservation. the digital age offers huge opportunities, but the decline of information literacy skills risks robbing a generation of the ability to fully utilize these. libraries and information services must step up to the plate to provide services which meet the needs of the new generation of researchers, and which add value beyond the search engine."

e-books are having significant implications on libraries. libraries can only stay digital when they are using different types of technologies. libraries are treating e-books as print books and it’s very good transition to go with. e-books will also keep the libraries prices down.
James, K. (2010).E-books Are Here to Stay — NYT to Start Best-Sellers List. Retrieved from http://gigaom.com/mobile/e-books-are-here-to-stay-nyt-to-start-best-sellers-list/

in 2020, there will be shelves for physical books and the most of the space will be taken by computers in the library. there will lots of application running by office software and e-books to help people. people will have access to library music, e books and videos from their home computers.
University of Northern Lowa. (n.d). Waste Reduction Education. Retrieved from http://www.ceee.uni.edu/Home/Programs/Education/Education/WasteReductionEducation/BooksVideos.aspx

in 2020, libraries will face challenges; the biggest challenge will be money and services. however, keeping up with technology will be challenge as well. such as: networking and bandwidth.
Llordllama. (2011). Llordllama’sLlibrarianLleanings. Retrieved from http://llordllama.wordpress.com/

in 2020, there will lots of space in libraries to provide support for people. physical books will be also part of the library in 2020. the director of the libraries will hire the talented people, who can face any challenges for the future libraries.
