According to a recent survey, e-book collections in academic libraries have increased 93% in the past year. However, 75% of college students still prefer print textbooks. A 2010 study of 700 students and 10 faculty at one college found that students were motivated to use e-textbooks to save money and appreciated the ability to print parts of the texts. Faculty supported the value of e-textbooks for students. The college plans to offer e-textbooks from four major publishers starting in spring 2012 that can be printed for a small fee and will save students about 2/3 the price of print textbooks.

Digital text book.
This document discusses student-generated digital textbooks. It provides reasons why students use digital textbooks, including lower costs, portability, interactivity, and frequent updates. It also outlines the process for creating a digital textbook, which includes aggregating sources of information, curating the most relevant sources, and designing how the curated resources will be presented for a class. The transition to digital textbooks has benefits but also challenges regarding access, literacy, teaching methods, and issues of value, quality, privacy and intellectual property.

Digital Text:
Introduction:
When we think about the text, we have some ideas in our minds
that text is any piece of writing in printed form. The text may be in
the form of papers, slogans and in canvass form.
But when we think about digital text, we say that firstly it is a
technology based written material. It is in coded form. It is a piece
of writing written in coded form found in computer, laptop, mobile
devices and other technological devices.
Definition of Digital Text:
Electronic versions of a written text or words or images that make up
that text is called digital text.(IGI- Global Dictionary).Continue:
Digital Text is delivered on a computer or another electronic devices
to meet the students and teachers’ need .
Now the world has become a global village . It is because of
technology. With the help of technology, we can be in touch with
one another and get communicated using ICT –Information and
communication Technology. Technology has provided us not only a
platform of business communication, but also pedagogical learning
and teaching platform for teachers and students respectively.
Technology has provided us innovation in every field of life. it is in
medical field, pedagogical, etc.
Thus the technology has revolutionized the world. Features of Digital Text:
Text features are parts of text that draw your attention to important
information. Text features in a book may include titles or headings,
subtitles, bold print, bullets, quotations, pictures, maps or diagrams,
captions, and sidebars.
You may see these types of text features in digital text, but you will
also see digital text features.
Digital text features include, hyperlinks, audio, video, interactive
images (photo galleries, maps, diagrams, simulations), pop ups,
interactive questions, and comment/note options.

• Hyperlink:
A hyperlink points the reader to additional information in the form of a website or file.
Hyperlinks are usually indicated with a different color or underline.

Technology and the internet have reshaped education by increasing the number of ways teachers can provide instruction and students can learn, such as through online exercises, forums, blogs, and digital libraries. While school libraries still play an important role in research, much information is now available online, changing how research is conducted. Technology is transforming education in many positive ways and will continue to do so in the future.
Revisioning the School Library Program
The document provides suggestions for school library programs to better align with leadership priorities and make the most of resources:
1) Teacher librarians should ensure library programs are cutting edge, evidence-based, and directly connected to school goals by collaborating with professional networks and promoting outcomes.
2) Outdated practices should be re-examined critically to better serve students and leadership.
3) Librarians must find ways to maximize time for innovative programming like makerspaces through efficiency, volunteers, and connecting library resources to curriculum.

Ebooks in the school library olga miechowska(2)
School librarians have increasingly adopted e-books and other educational technologies over time. While e-book use is growing, adoption rates are still lower in K-12 schools than public libraries due to issues like lack of funds, training needs, and restrictions on electronics in classrooms. Librarians must investigate options from various e-book vendors and work with technology departments to effectively integrate e-books into their libraries and curricula.
Presentation Anna Vernon
The document discusses a project that provides e-books for free to UK further education (FE) colleges. It made 2,990 e-books available from a variety of subjects. The e-books provide 24/7 access from any device for students, including those studying remotely or part-time. However, libraries and educators must work to promote the e-books so students are aware of and can easily access this digital content.
Dara
The document discusses the rise of eBooks and electronic textbooks in education. While eBook reading for pleasure has increased overall reading, students have been slower to embrace e-textbooks due to issues like increased reading time and distractions. However, studies have found little difference in learning outcomes between print and electronic texts. E-textbooks provide opportunities like embedded media and personalized learning, but students need guidance to take advantage of interactive features and read effectively online. Overall, no single format benefits all learners, so educators should recognize students' varied needs in this changing reading environment.

Eliweb113
The document summarizes findings from research into digital content and e-readers in higher education. It finds that while digital book sales are increasing, e-textbooks are not replacing printed textbooks as quickly as music went digital. Adoption depends on the hardware, software and content meeting students' studying needs, like highlighting and note-taking across multiple resources. While tablets show promise, laptops currently provide the best platform for higher education's digital content and studying workflows.
Leading Learning and Living in a Digital World Conference
The document discusses open educational resources (OER) and how the digital, networked world is changing the economics of education. It notes that digital content is growing exponentially and can now be shared freely online, while the costs of copying and distributing digital files is near zero. This allows for new models like open textbooks that can be continuously updated and customized at a much lower cost than traditional textbooks. The document advocates for colleges to adopt open educational resources to help reduce the high costs students pay for textbooks and instructional materials.
Digital text book
Digital textbooks offer benefits over traditional printed textbooks such as being more engaging for students through the use of multimedia, being more easily updatable, and reducing costs. However, some challenges remain such as the need for sufficient technology infrastructure in schools and students' homes, as well as teachers needing training to effectively utilize the digital format. While digital textbooks are becoming more prevalent, the transition comes with adjustments as schools, teachers, and students adopt new methods of teaching and learning.

However, it also notes challenges around e-textbook adoption, such as publishers not making core textbooks available for library purchase and a lack of pricing models. Data from Özyeğin University in Turkey is presented, finding that only 8% of assigned course readings were available as e-books, and 49% of students did not purchase textbooks for at least one class. Overall, the document questions how to increase e-textbook usage and availability through university libraries.
Finding and Using E-Books
This document summarizes a faculty development institute presentation about e-books. Rebecca Miller and Carolyn Meier discussed the history and current state of e-books, how they are used in higher education, and how to access e-books through the university libraries.
