A work is no longer confined to a single definitive version, as the reader can follow the author through the revision process, nor voiced by a single reader as now a range of theatrical and literary titans are accommodated with unlimited space for a variety of renditions. In this transitional moment, each school library is weighing how electronic its collection should be. Any school library considering the electronic transition will have to make some decisions about the purpose of connecting students with a particular text. If it is to have an immersive and enriching experience in a fictive environment, many students may still prefer print. But it is increasingly important to support digital and analog formats equally. Situating the school library in the midst of the conversation about e-books is important to school librarians in order that they remain authoritative on both literacy and technologies. And the school librarian's involvement will help underpin collaboration. |
