There is a lot of buzz about eBooks. Some people like them and some people despise them. I think they have a place in the library.
When I think about purchasing books, I want to get the biggest "bang for my buck", so to speak. If I can find an eBook on a curriculum related subject, I am going to purchase it over a physical book. One book in the library can only be checked out to one person at a time, thus limiting the effectiveness of the resource. Where as an eBook can be viewed by several people at a time, can be shared on a data projector for the whole class, it will not suffer "wear and tear", and/or be lost or taken from the collection.
These are just my thoughts. Tell me what you think.
