I think this may mark the first time you and I have completely agreed on a subject. *NM* Aemon Send a noteboard - 11/09/2009 05:54:49 PM
However, only 18 eReaders? If they are going to get rid of their paper library, then they need to provide every student with an eBook reader, provide wifi access for the entire campus, and do away with the library space itself - though they half did that anyway.

Paper books are on their way out. And I could not be more glad. eBooks are far superior - from the integration of information that is visual(sounds, pictures, and word) to the ability to hyperlink, to the ability to download a book anywhere anytime, the eBook is far superior.

You write that and its from the point of view of lecture - 11/09/2009 07:15:21 PM 856 Views
