Information & Digital Literacy • All //Room 104// Are you unsure about how to enter the digital arena in your school? Do you have unused eBooks in your library collection? Come hear practical steps toward acquiring, managing and circulating eBooks in a K-12 school. The panel will include a teacher librarian, a district Destiny manager, and a Follett account manager who will tackle the issues for making eBooks available to your students and staff. Issues will include: the types of devices; reading online vs. downloading; acquisition of eBooks; patron access; costs and more. After this session you will truly turn the page in becoming a virtual library! //Deborah Stanley, Teacher Librarian, Riverside USD// //Dave Cella, Account Manager, Follett Library Resources// //Julia Christian, District Destiny Manager, Riverside USD//
