Curious about the Kindle, KindleDX, or Nook? These eReaders will be on display for hands-on testing. The College at Brockport's Drake Library has been circulating Kindles since fall 2009. Circulation policy and user agreements will be available for review; Librarians Jennifer Little and Pat Maxwell will discuss their experience circulating the Kindles as well as the results of their Kindle user's survey.
Jennifer J. Little is a reference librarian and the coordinator of library instruction at the College of Brockport, where she has worked for five years. She held previous reference and instruction positions at the University of South Carolina Aiken and Taylor University (Indiana). Her research interests include effective library instruction methods and cognitive learning theories as they relate to the online environment. Although she spends most of her work days inside, she loves to be outside skiing or biking or hiking especially in her birthplace, the Adirondack Mountains.
Pat Maxwell (MLS, Southern Connecticut State University) is the Systems Librarian for the College at Brockport, primarily responsible for providing Aleph ILS services and support. She recently implemented the AquaBrowser Library catalog, assisted in the Brockport Big Read program, and is presently working on a relational database for the Brockport Writers Forum audio/video collection. Pat’s research interests include human-computer interaction, with a focus on e-textbooks.
This program is sponsored by the Rochester Regional Library Council and is supported by Regional Bibliographic Data Bases and Interlibrary Resources Sharing (RBDB) funds.
