E-reader guide

To aid students in using their e-readers DUCKLING created a subject specific e-reader guide for Education and Psychology, the students can view and download this on BlackBoard:

• Information on the Sony e-reader (Education)
• Guidance on using your e-reader (Psychology)

Converting a Word document into an e-book

Converting documents into e-books can be tricky but DUCKLING has documented the process of conversion.   This is still being added to and perfected as our knowledge expands:

• Creating e-book formats
• E-readers for distance students
• Creating and formatting documents for e-readers using ePub: A Guide

Psychology ePubs

As part of the OTTER project there are several ePub e-books within our repository available for you to download:

• Ergonomics
• Personnel Selection and Assessment Unit 1: Introduction
• Personnel Selection and Assessment Unit 5: Selection Interviews
• The Individual at Work: Introduction
• The Individual at Work: Performance Appraisal
• Training and Development: Introduction and Overview
• Training and Development: Unit 1

E-books and E-readers

The definition of e-books has changed in recent years. A decade or so ago, libraries first began to make e-books available, which can be read from a computer browser with a live internet connection. Now, however, e-books are increasingly being seen as something that can be downloaded to a handheld device and read anywhere regardless of internet connection. As a result of DUCKLING, we have begun to hold workshops on e-books and e-books especially, but not exclusively, for the librarian's consideration.
