64. FROM CALIBK12: “A 7th grade English teacher is
looking for a different Arthurian book to do as a
class book and assignment. She has done "King
Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table" by
Thomas Malory for years, but now has to take it
off her list because she must now use iPads for
reading and instruction, and this title is not
available as an ebook( I
know; a
discussion for another time).
So, please suggest any excellent Arthurian books
for middle school students that can be
downloaded as an ebook.”

65. Don’t ask, “What device
should I buy?”
Ask “How will students
use it?”
(usually your district will prescribe what you use?)

66. “Sticking Points:
These are the top five issues libraries face when it comes to
using ereaders and tablets in school.
1) Platform lock-in and lack of interoperability
2) Administering devices
3) Availability of the titles students and teachers want
4) Integration of the ebook catalog with the library catalog
5) Cost of both devices and ebook”
Watters, Audrey. “The Truth About Tablets: Educators are Getting iPads
and Ereaders into Etudents’ Hands—But It’s Not Easy.” School Library

iPad

69. “You can use iBooks on iPad. You can also use
iBooks on iPhone or iPod touch with iOS 4 or
later.
An iTunes Store account is required to download
books from the iBookstore.
iBooks uses the ePub file format.
To add ePub files from outside the iBookstore to
iBooks, they must be DRM-free and manually
synced to your device using iTunes 9.2 or later.”

• I am not able to use eBooks from LAPL, even
though I am able to use their databases.
• Had to certify at Fullerton Public that I work in
Fullerton. (My Fullerton Public Library Card
did not work at first).
