At our recent peer advising meeting we started chatting about electronic books, and thought we’d open up the discussion to all the e-geeks out there. What’s your favourite way to read articles and e-books: Kindle, ipad, Kobos…? Do you know about Project Gutenberg (http:\/\/www.gutenberg.org\/)? What about: http:\/\/calibre-ebook.com\/ (open source e-book software for Mac, PC, Linux)?
\nThis is an exciting world as we move beyond paper-based books and print journals. But what are the costs (social, environmental, economic) of these technologies? The benefits?
\nPlease share your thoughts here. If there’s enough interest, we may even organize a little seminar to take a look at these technologies in more depth.
\nCheers,
\nThe NEW grad advising team: James, Anita, Sarah, Jung, and (not so new) Julia<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
