AzLA PD Monthly Webinar Series. 

eBooks from the Arizona State Library with Christine Peterson, Mary Villegas, Megan Hammond, and Melanie Toledo

Date: February 10, 2022

Time: 1 pm

Registration Link: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_MFjr2P59T0ei9WjoP6rsFg 


Program Description:

Time to come up to speed with the Arizona State Library and ebooks! The State Library has two projects of which every library should be aware. Reading Arizona is available to every resident in the state and focuses on ebook and audiobook titles that are thematically linked to Arizona. They can be set in Arizona or about the state’s history, culture, or government. New titles are added all the time. Find out what you’ve missed! The second project combines the State Library, the SimplyE app, and the DPLA Exchange collection. A pilot project, the State Library is creating an ebook collection using the DPLA Exchange, a marketplace for libraries to purchase ebook and audiobook titles run by the nonprofit Digital Public Library of America. These titles are available to patrons of the pilot libraries through the open-source SimplyE app hosted by Amigos Library Services. Join Christine Peterson, Mary Villegas, Megan Hammond, and Melanie Toledo to find out how the pilot went, what the libraries are thinking about it, and what the State Library’s next steps might be.

 

This month’s webinar is sponsored by Emporia State University's School of Library and Information Management.
