Editor's Notes

  • #4 Capstone Digital isn’t a brand new presence in the market. We already have over 4,000 buildings implemented successfully on some of our products. Of note:Charleston County in South Carolina has a district-wide implementation where they’ve increased their collection circulation. For librarians, turnover means how often a book circulates in a year. In an average elementary school, an average turnover rate is 1 to 10 circulations a year. Charleston had an average turnover rate of 337 circulations for each digital book in the past year – an increase of over thirty times.Hillsborough County implemented in all of their title 1 schools. The students found and started using the product before the teachers were fully trained!
  • #5 The interest inventory is a way to match students with books that they want to read. Students indicate how interested they are in a variety of topics, and they’ll build their interests by adding more topics. Interests are refined through the student profile screen, and by rating books read. But, the interest inventory is only half of the book recommendation equation.Key Points:The student can retake the interest inventory by using their “Account” button.
  • #6 Each student will have the same structure of a home page, but the featured titles will be different on the recommended view.Key Point:Don’t forget to talk about the Book Wall – these are fun covers of books that have been read in the school, or are new.
