The document summarizes a presentation given by David Lisa at the NJLA Adult Services Forum on October 26, 2011 about the future of reading in a digital age. The presentation discusses how reading culture is transitioning from analog to incorporating more digital formats, with the percentage of public libraries providing access to ebooks growing from 23% in 2001 to 66% in 2010. It also notes that while technology advances, reading remains a fundamental cultural practice. The presentation considers possible futures such as print and digital co-existing or new business models emerging, but concludes that the future of reading remains largely unwritten and libraries will need to serve digital generations.

Water to the Thirsty Reflections on the Ethical Mission of Libraries and Open...Matilde Fontanin
The shift to digital information determines a parallel shift in access modes, and digital libraries are called to action by the ethical foundations of their mission. Open Access makes information potentially available not just to researchers, but to everyone, yet there are still barriers to be overcome in terms of technical infra-structures, points of access, digital and cultural divide.
The mission of libraries, as stated by IFLA Manifesto for Digital Libraries and IFLA/FAIFECode of Ethics for Librarians and other Information Workers, con-verges with the mission and ethics of the BBB declarations on Open Access: it is about delivering information to everyone, from scholars to the “curious minds”, and librarians can be mediators in the wide diffusion, at all levels of society, of scientific, scholarly knowledge, to foster “active” and “scientific” citizenship.
A traveller through a country would stop at a village and he didn\'t have to ask for food or for water. Once he stops, the people give him food, entertain him. That is one aspect of Ubuntu but it will have various aspects. Ubuntu does not mean that people should not address themselves. The question therefore is: Are you going to do so in order to enable the community around you to be able to improve?

European perspectives on design for learning in the 21 centuryTeemu Leinonen
Keynote at the National Conference about flexible learning, 15-17 July Wrest Point Conference Centre, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia / Australasian Association of Distance Education Schools.
In this address, Professor Leinonen will discuss ‘meta-design’, which means design of ‘things’ for educators to design their own teaching and for learners to design their own learning. He will also present a generic Finnish / Northern European perspective on ICT in education, which he and his colleagues aim to make a pan-European model through a project entitled Innovative Technologies for an Engaging Classroom (iTEC). iTEC is a four-year, large-scale project that takes an informed look the potential classrooms of the future. With 27 project partners, including 14 Ministries of Education and funding from the European Commission of 9.45 million Euros, iTEC will provide a model describing how the deployment of technology in support of innovative teaching and learning activities can move beyond small scale pilots and become embedded in all Europe's schools. iTEC is being piloted in over 1,000 classrooms in 12 countries, making it by the most significant pan-European validation of ICT in schools yet undertaken.

Digital Comics and Libraries: Past, Present and FutureDavid Lisa
Digital comics and graphic novels are more available to readers than ever before and in different formats for a variety of platforms. Increasing numbers of major comics publishers are going to a "day and date structure" of publishing, which gives readers a choice of print and digital versions of newly released comics. What implications does this hold for libraries and comics readers that depend on libraries to provide them with their favorite story lines and graphic novels? David Lisa and Michael Maziekien take a look at the history of digital comics, what's happening now and what the future might hold for cooperation between digital comics publishers and libraries.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

important cultural technology."
Dr. Stephan Füssel
The E-Summit was held at the Sheridan Eatontown on July 14, 2011 and was sponsored by NJSL, LLNJ, NJLA and the NJLA Reference Section. The topic was ebooks and e-reading.
Over 200 people attended.
Not only were people there to learn about the future of ebooks, but they were also motivated to share experiences with their favorite mobile and computing devices.
Handheld devices and tablet computers were in abundance.

http://www.uni-mainz.de/eng/14685.phpThe study analyzed the differences in reading from various kinds of media (e-book, tablet PC, paper) in two sample groups, young and elderly adults. Each participant read various texts with different levels of complexity on an e-book reader (Kindle 3), on a tablet PC (iPad), and on paper. The reading behavior and the participants' corresponding neural processes were assessed by means of concurrent measures of eye movements (eye tracking) and electrophysiological brain activity (EEG). The criteria that were taken into account and analyzed were changes in the theta frequency band power, reading behavior, text comprehension, and information recall as well as the participants' preferences for the respective medium.A book or a screen – which of these two offers more reading comfort? There are no disadvantages to reading from electronic reading devices compared with reading printed texts.
Culture has as much to do with the future of reading as technology does
If Captain Picard says that it must be so, then there must be books in print in the future.
The future of reading has been addressed in the media over the last 10 years. Reading’s link to technology has also been addressed.
I presented at New York Comic Con last week with Michael Maziekien, and on our panel we talked about Digital Comics in Libraries. As we all know, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs passed away on October 5, 2011. It was noted, here in this recent comicbookresources.com article, that Steve had a large part to do with wider acceptance of digital comics as a popular resource. Being able to read and store your favorite comics on your own portable handheld device has become very attractive. And, as we all know, reading comics on an iPad is fun.This can be taken a step further when noting that Jobs had a great deal to do with making people more comfortable with the concept of reading on a handheld device of their choice.
Internet Access in Libraries. By 1998, this number has grown to 73%, due to a combination of local action, state and federal funding, and support from corporate sources such as Microsoft and Comcast. What does this have to do with ereading? Internet connectivity has become a very important support structure to reading on handheld devices and on the net itself.
2001. Overdrive starts offering library access to digital books. Sedona Public Library in Illinois creates a 900 ebook collection. In 2004, a comprehensive plan for audiobook downloads in libraries is rolled out. Libraries or library systems and cooperatives purchase access fees and an individual fee for each title or title set. Over the years, more library systems purchase access to ebook collections as ereaders become more popular.
The Public Library Funding and Technology Access Study 2009-2010
Having a choice in life is very important. And so is with choosing hardware to use to read.
To those of you with an iPad, this should be very familiar, because this is what it looks like to read a book that is purchased from the iBookstore. (Demonstrate iPad). (Mention Real Steel connection)
You can also read a book upright too. Even turning a page is fun.
Back to comics for a second. To be able to read digital comics on a handheld portable device, like this iPad, was an important technological leap forward during the last couple years. We are now seeing the rise of a whole new generation of digital readers, to whom reading books, comics, graphic novels, magazines and newspapers in this fashion is very natural, if not preferred.
Recently, the introduction of the Kindle Fire ignited new issues in exclusivity for digital comics. How will this affect the presence of digital comics (and books) in libraries as a service that customers can take advantage of with their choice of handheld devices?
Exclusivity is going to be a very important issue as we move forward. In this instance, for example, a library customer wanting Penny Marshall’s upcoming book in digital form may not be able to borrow it from your library unless you are offering it through Amazon, if that will even be possible. However, this book will be available in both print and digital formats.
Taken a step further, Amazon is boldly going where few dare to tread. More and more, we are seeing them bypassing traditional publishers and just doing it on their own.
This may result in better prices for the consumer. It could also cause an upheaval in the publishing industry. Will it cause more exclusivity?
And this is probably the biggest issue in publishing today. Amanda Hocking an example of young adult writer who started out by completely bypassing the traditional scheme of being published a publishing house. Instead, she did it all herself, marketing her own fiction in ebook format on Amazon and Barnesandnoble.com, and becoming very successful. Amanda later used this success to sign a traditional contract with a print publisher and one series was even optioned to film.This is just the beginning of a whole realm of popular writers that may never see a library shelf because their books are only available in ebook format. How will libraries be able to provide these authors to customers?Amanda is 26 years old. She’s earned over two million dollars in sales by doing it all herself.
So, ebooks and ereading are important to your customers and will be even more important as we move into the future.
What’s this you say?
How many of you have Netflix instant streaming accounts? explain
How many of you use Spotify? explain
Is the next eBook business model based upon all you can eat? If so, we may finally see the point at which customers that want ematerial stop competing to “copies” of books.
Since no one knows for sure what exactly will happen, perhaps it’s better to talk about some possible futures for ereading and how libraries will supply ebooks to customers.
Perhaps the two will continue to co-exist. Remember Captain Picard. It’s a difficult model to enforce logically though. Will it be possible to produce books in print when the overwhelming majority of people in society do not want them? I contend that this cannot economically be the case.
What are we doing that works?We’re currently using two major models for electronic resources. We have our ebook vendors like Overdrive, which is how we generally approach ebooks. based on the purchase of access to an item or collection, accessible to the general population, but only downloadable by a certain number of concurrent users, and DRM-protected.Our other model is based on database subscription: A monthly, quarterly or annual fee to provide access to a large number of different items in one remotely accessible resource. We tend to handle journals, newspapers, and other serials this way. Many users can access the database at once. So which of these would work best for library users? Does this point us toward the all you can eat model?
The fact is that the future of ereading in libraries is largely unwritten. The rise of digital books as a consumer choice certainly does point us toward a future where customers are getting used to this as a given.The youngest generations of readers are natively digital and WILL (I repeat, WILL) prefer digital to print as they grow older.Libraries are already ramping up to deliver new programs and services to these digital natives and once these kids turn into tax paying adults, we will most certainly see libraries going for more and more remotely accessible digital services to meet their demand.
And this is what it boils down to. The library profession, the bookselling industry, even the comics industry are all headed toward different versions of the same inevitable crisis.The bookselling industry is already seeing the fallout of growing ereading preferences. The library profession is trying to adapt, but some factions are not trying hard enough to make inroads to serving the digital natives.The comics industry is headed in the right direction with the variety of digital services that exist now, but an inevitable confrontation will take place eventually that will mean the life or death of the printed comic book, something that was originated in the United States.Simply put: I’m predicting that print books as we know them cannot profitably exist in a generation that does not prefer them. But, as you know, this does not mean that reading dies with future generations. It means anything but.
