60 years to go… | eBooks, Libraries, Librarians
https://jturnerlibrarian.wordpress.com/2012/01/11/60-years-to-go
EBooks, Libraries, Librarians. Surviving the Coalition so far. 60 years to go…. Upon resetting the iPods prior to lending them to the next school I discovered that one wannabe hacker had made 21 attempts to guess the PIN to disable the restrictions blocking YouTube.

Librarians, throwing out books? From their ivory towers. Are recruited at ridic...

Taking things for granted | eBooks, Libraries, Librarians
https://jturnerlibrarian.wordpress.com/2011/09/28/taking-things-for-granted
EBooks, Libraries, Librarians. Surviving the Coalition so far. Taking things for granted. Sometimes you take the simplest things for granted. Like being able to quickly navigate and move items between file systems. To understand the hierarchy of files and folders. To understand why an epub file needs to be unzipped into its component parts in order to edit it. To keep track of multiple OEBPS folders with identically named contents. EBooks are an absolute pain in the tender regions to create and edit....
