| contents | Turning the Page Weinstock, Jeff School Libraries Books Electronic Publishing Technological Advancement Telecommunications Handheld Devices Librarians Printed Materials Technology Uses in Education Printed books are losing out to digital resources, bringing profound change to school libraries while provoking a fierce debate over the very act of reading. This article discusses what James Tracy, the headmaster of Cushing Academy, a prep school about 90 minutes west of Boston, did. He began to rid the campus library of virtually all of its books in favor of a digital-only collection. It was a move that, whether intended or not (Tracy says not), has caused bookshelves to wobble all across K-12, and has challenged educators on how much 21st century learning they're willing to tolerate. It also instantly made Tracy into a target of considerable loathing though his entire purpose was to actually try to save the library from irrelevance. |
