But patrons are often unaware that libraries offer e-book lending -- 62 percent of those surveyed said they didn't know if their library lends e-books.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twelve percent of e-book readers have tried borrowing digital books from a library, but indicate the process is cumbersome, with wait lists that can stretch for months, lack of availability for many titles, an inability to renew, and difficulty with the downloading process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fifty-six percent said they couldn't find the particular e-book they wanted from their library, and 18 percent said their library's e-books were incompatible with their e-reader.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many patrons who borrow e-books from libraries report they don't know how to return an e-book before it's due, when it will simply disappear from their e-reader, and that lack of knowledge adds to wait list times. Some librarians are especially fond of e-books, however, because they never have to pester anyone about fines for overdue books.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's clear library patrons want to borrow e-books, and libraries want to lend them, but because e-book formats, e-readers, and agreements with publishers evolve rapidly, no one has figured out how to make it all work smoothly.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>OLD SYSTEMS FOR NEW TECHNOLOGIES\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In some ways, publishers artificially impose limits on e-book lending to create the same scarcity and demand that exists with printed books. According to the report, \"In general, publishers' e-book lending restrictions often attempt to mirror the logistics of print lending -- for instance, only allowing an e-book to be lent out to one patron at a time through a 'one book, one user' arrangement.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, cuts in library budgets in recent years and publishers' restrictions on purchasing have made it impossible for libraries to acquire enough e-books to keep up with the demand. A \u003c!--more-->report released last week by the American Library Association, \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.ala.org/research/plftas/2011_2012\">Libraries Connect Communities: Public Library Funding & Technology Access Study 2011-2012\u003c/a>,\" found 56.7 percent of American libraries had reduced or flat operating budgets over the past year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One librarian wrote in the Pew survey, \"We boycott HarperCollins due to their use limitations. (Books must be repurchased after 26 checkouts.) We can only purchase one copy per title from Penguin (resulting in extremely long hold lists and disgruntled patrons). Random House has upped their prices to around $100 per copy, so we are only purchasing the top 10 bestsellers from this publisher. I fear what will happen in the next year.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some libraries simply can't keep up with the rapid changes in technology due to time and budget limits on their staff. Some librarians might know their way around a Kindle or a Nook, but not an iPad. While better-funded library districts report offering e-reader training sessions and vouchers for librarians to purchase their own e-readers, many of the librarians who responded to the survey indicate their staff is more likely to be self-taught through their own use of personal tablets and e-readers than they are to receive formal training.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This mirrors how the general population is learning about e-reading. According to the report, \"Many mentioned having a spouse, child, or friend who is more tech-savvy than them and serves as an inspiration or teacher.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several librarians indicated that there is one particular staffer who understands technology better than others and fulfills that go-ask-your-little-brother role, with less tech-comfortable librarians sending people to the resident tech guru with their questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Libraries' acquisition of printed books was gradual, but many patrons expect the acquisition of e-books to be instant. Some of the surveyed e-book readers imagine a future library where every book ever published is available to patrons instantly, for free, with no wait lists or limits on checkout time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the ghosts of technologies past provide a warning for libraries that might rush to invest too many resources in one digital format. According to the report, some librarians \"mentioned cutting increasingly obsolete resources, like collections of cassettes or VHS tapes, as well as databases that are rarely used.\" Meanwhile, old-fashioned print books continue to circulate.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>PUBLISHERS' REVENUE\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>While librarians disagree with the publishers' e-book policies, they seem to be working for the moment. A report from the Association of American Publishers released earlier this month showed that for the first time, American publishers are earning more revenue from e-books than hardback books.

But patrons are often unaware that libraries offer e-book lending -- 62 percent of those surveyed said they didn't know if their library lends e-books.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twelve percent of e-book readers have tried borrowing digital books from a library, but indicate the process is cumbersome, with wait lists that can stretch for months, lack of availability for many titles, an inability to renew, and difficulty with the downloading process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fifty-six percent said they couldn't find the particular e-book they wanted from their library, and 18 percent said their library's e-books were incompatible with their e-reader.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many patrons who borrow e-books from libraries report they don't know how to return an e-book before it's due, when it will simply disappear from their e-reader, and that lack of knowledge adds to wait list times. Some librarians are especially fond of e-books, however, because they never have to pester anyone about fines for overdue books.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's clear library patrons want to borrow e-books, and libraries want to lend them, but because e-book formats, e-readers, and agreements with publishers evolve rapidly, no one has figured out how to make it all work smoothly.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>OLD SYSTEMS FOR NEW TECHNOLOGIES\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In some ways, publishers artificially impose limits on e-book lending to create the same scarcity and demand that exists with printed books. According to the report, \"In general, publishers' e-book lending restrictions often attempt to mirror the logistics of print lending -- for instance, only allowing an e-book to be lent out to one patron at a time through a 'one book, one user' arrangement.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, cuts in library budgets in recent years and publishers' restrictions on purchasing have made it impossible for libraries to acquire enough e-books to keep up with the demand. A \u003c!--more-->report released last week by the American Library Association, \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.ala.org/research/plftas/2011_2012\">Libraries Connect Communities: Public Library Funding & Technology Access Study 2011-2012\u003c/a>,\" found 56.7 percent of American libraries had reduced or flat operating budgets over the past year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One librarian wrote in the Pew survey, \"We boycott HarperCollins due to their use limitations. (Books must be repurchased after 26 checkouts.) We can only purchase one copy per title from Penguin (resulting in extremely long hold lists and disgruntled patrons). Random House has upped their prices to around $100 per copy, so we are only purchasing the top 10 bestsellers from this publisher. I fear what will happen in the next year.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some libraries simply can't keep up with the rapid changes in technology due to time and budget limits on their staff. Some librarians might know their way around a Kindle or a Nook, but not an iPad. While better-funded library districts report offering e-reader training sessions and vouchers for librarians to purchase their own e-readers, many of the librarians who responded to the survey indicate their staff is more likely to be self-taught through their own use of personal tablets and e-readers than they are to receive formal training.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This mirrors how the general population is learning about e-reading. According to the report, \"Many mentioned having a spouse, child, or friend who is more tech-savvy than them and serves as an inspiration or teacher.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several librarians indicated that there is one particular staffer who understands technology better than others and fulfills that go-ask-your-little-brother role, with less tech-comfortable librarians sending people to the resident tech guru with their questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Libraries' acquisition of printed books was gradual, but many patrons expect the acquisition of e-books to be instant. Some of the surveyed e-book readers imagine a future library where every book ever published is available to patrons instantly, for free, with no wait lists or limits on checkout time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the ghosts of technologies past provide a warning for libraries that might rush to invest too many resources in one digital format. According to the report, some librarians \"mentioned cutting increasingly obsolete resources, like collections of cassettes or VHS tapes, as well as databases that are rarely used.\" Meanwhile, old-fashioned print books continue to circulate.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>PUBLISHERS' REVENUE\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>While librarians disagree with the publishers' e-book policies, they seem to be working for the moment. A report from the Association of American Publishers released earlier this month showed that for the first time, American publishers are earning more revenue from e-books than hardback books. In the first quarter of 2012, e-books brought in $282.3 million, while hardbacks earned publishers $229.6 million. The revenues from paperback books still have a slight edge over those categories, but paperbacks are slipping, with earnings from adult trade paperbacks falling by 10.5 percent and adult mass-market paperbacks tumbling by 20.8 percent since last year. For publishers and writers, so far it seems the advent of e-books takes away as much as it gives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The restrictions publishers place on library e-book lending are helping them maintain the delicate balance between what e-books are earning and what they are costing.

When it came time to measuring \"child-book\" engagement, based on the child's direct attention and touch, more kids showed higher levels of engagement for the e-books than the print books, though a majority were equally engaged by both book types. Children also physically interacted with the enhanced e-book more than when reading either the print or basic e-book.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv>\n\u003cp>On the other hand, when measuring \"overall engagement\" —a composite of parent-child interaction, child-book interaction, parent-book interaction, and signs of enjoyment -- an interesting trend emerged: 63% of the parent-child pairs were as engaged reading the print book as they were when reading the e-book (both types); 6% of the pairs were more engaged with the e-book than the print book, compared to the 31% of pairs that were more engaged with the print book than the e-book.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\"Kids loved the enhanced e-books,\" Chiong said. \"It was great to see the level of engagement, how much they were enjoying it -- and that's one of our goals as parents, is engaging kids. If this can do that, especially in kids who might not otherwise be interested, it’s perfect.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chiong added that this study focused on younger kids -- questions and priorities will be different for measuring the differences for older readers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>PARENTS' EXPERIENCE\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003c/strong>Parents' comments showed a wide range of reactions.

Prompting kids with questions that relate to the text, labeling and naming objects, and encouraging kids to talk about the book's content from their own perspective all elicit \u003c!--more-->kids to be more verbal, and can lead to improved vocabulary and language development, the study states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But if \"engagement\" is the objective, the issue gets murkier. When it came time to measuring \"child-book\" engagement, based on the child's direct attention and touch, more kids showed higher levels of engagement for the e-books than the print books, though a majority were equally engaged by both book types. Children also physically interacted with the enhanced e-book more than when reading either the print or basic e-book.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv>\n\u003cp>On the other hand, when measuring \"overall engagement\" —a composite of parent-child interaction, child-book interaction, parent-book interaction, and signs of enjoyment -- an interesting trend emerged: 63% of the parent-child pairs were as engaged reading the print book as they were when reading the e-book (both types); 6% of the pairs were more engaged with the e-book than the print book, compared to the 31% of pairs that were more engaged with the print book than the e-book.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\"Kids loved the enhanced e-books,\" Chiong said. \"It was great to see the level of engagement, how much they were enjoying it -- and that's one of our goals as parents, is engaging kids.

According to the eBrary survey, \"the vast majority of students would choose electronic over print if it were available and if better tools along with fewer restrictions were offered.\" Those latter points are key: better tools and fewer restrictions. Despite some of the improvements to note-taking in textbook apps like \u003ca href=\"http://inkling.com\">Inkling\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://kno.com\">Kno\u003c/a>, it's still not quite as easy to mark up a digital text as it is a printed one. And oftentimes the content in these books is \"locked down,\" so students can't share their notes or share their books with another.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That sharing aspect is important. Students want to be able to utilize social media as they do their reading and research, and according to those surveyed by eBrary, they want their textbooks integrated with social tools. Again, many apps are recognizing the importance of \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2011/08/how-social-networks-might-change-the-way-we-read-books/\">social reading\u003c/a>, whether it's shared highlighting via the Kindle or a dedicated e-reader or via a Web-based tool like \u003ca href=\"http://highlighter.com\">Highlighter\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But students also share their textbooks because they are so incredibly expensive. And as the digital rights management (DRM) restrictions on e-books makes lending someone your copy difficult if not impossible, students are likely steering away from e-books because they simply don't work for them -- practically or economically. After all, there is little savings to be found in many digital textbooks. They cost roughly the same as print, but come without the ability to sell back a used copy at the end of the semester.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The slow adoption of digital textbooks by students doesn't necessarily mean that textbooks will be the last bastion of print. But it does highlight the ways in which students' needs aren't being met yet by digital content providers. That means there's still a huge opportunity here to reshape what the textbooks of the future look like. Openly licensed content, for example, could address students' concerns about sharing. Better social tools could help meet their needs for social reading and learning. Open educational resources could provide free content, while an iTunes model of sorts -- one that sold the \"song\" (or rather the chapter) rather than the \"album\" (the whole book) could save students money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students' reluctance to move to digital textbooks should also be an indication that we have to make sure we're building learning tools that meet the needs of learners. Despite all the promises about lighter backpacks, students' purchasing habits here indicate that they're making decisions about what works best for how they study.\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":null,"status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1320698630,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":12,"wordCount":683},"headData":{"title":"Why Aren't Students Using E-Books? | KQED","description":"Kathryn Though we keep hearing about a huge increase in sales of e-books, a recent survey shows that, for students, that needle has not really moved much.

As different e-readers and e-reader apps \u003c!--more-->have access to different catalogs, there isn't really a seamless shopping experience for digital textbooks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's not as though students aren't interested in e-books. According to the eBrary survey, \"the vast majority of students would choose electronic over print if it were available and if better tools along with fewer restrictions were offered.\" Those latter points are key: better tools and fewer restrictions. Despite some of the improvements to note-taking in textbook apps like \u003ca href=\"http://inkling.com\">Inkling\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://kno.com\">Kno\u003c/a>, it's still not quite as easy to mark up a digital text as it is a printed one. And oftentimes the content in these books is \"locked down,\" so students can't share their notes or share their books with another.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That sharing aspect is important. Students want to be able to utilize social media as they do their reading and research, and according to those surveyed by eBrary, they want their textbooks integrated with social tools. Again, many apps are recognizing the importance of \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2011/08/how-social-networks-might-change-the-way-we-read-books/\">social reading\u003c/a>, whether it's shared highlighting via the Kindle or a dedicated e-reader or via a Web-based tool like \u003ca href=\"http://highlighter.com\">Highlighter\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But students also share their textbooks because they are so incredibly expensive. And as the digital rights management (DRM) restrictions on e-books makes lending someone your copy difficult if not impossible, students are likely steering away from e-books because they simply don't work for them -- practically or economically. After all, there is little savings to be found in many digital textbooks. They cost roughly the same as print, but come without the ability to sell back a used copy at the end of the semester.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The slow adoption of digital textbooks by students doesn't necessarily mean that textbooks will be the last bastion of print. But it does highlight the ways in which students' needs aren't being met yet by digital content providers. That means there's still a huge opportunity here to reshape what the textbooks of the future look like. Openly licensed content, for example, could address students' concerns about sharing. Better social tools could help meet their needs for social reading and learning. Open educational resources could provide free content, while an iTunes model of sorts -- one that sold the \"song\" (or rather the chapter) rather than the \"album\" (the whole book) could save students money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students' reluctance to move to digital textbooks should also be an indication that we have to make sure we're building learning tools that meet the needs of learners. Despite all the promises about lighter backpacks, students' purchasing habits here indicate that they're making decisions about what works best for how they study.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/mindshift/16710/why-arent-students-using-e-books","authors":["4352"],"categories":["mindshift_192","mindshift_194","mindshift_195","mindshift_193"],"tags":["mindshift_360","mindshift_762"],"featImg":"mindshift_13509","label":"mindshift"},"mindshift_10775":{"type":"posts","id":"mindshift_10775","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"mindshift","id":"10775","score":null,"sort":[1303496720000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"weekly-news-roundup-6","title":"Weekly News Roundup","publishDate":1303496720,"format":"aside","headTitle":"MindShift | KQED News","labelTerm":{"site":"mindshift"},"content":"\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/williac/626962261/sizes/m/in/photostream/\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-9447\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2011/03/weekly_roundup1-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.nationalgeographic.com/\">National Geographic\u003c/a> has unveiled a new \u003ca href=\"http://education.nationalgeographic.com/education/edu/\">education section\u003c/a> of its website, with a great collection of maps, multimedia, teaching activities, and resources\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Amazon announced this week that it would be launching a \u003ca href=\"http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=176060&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=1552678&highlight=\">Lending Library\u003c/a> later this year, a deal that would let Kindle owners check out books from over 11,000 libraries.
