[Web4lib] Getting teachers to accept e-books

We usually point this out to the kids who say they can't use the
Internet. The fact that they can read it anywhere, and print out a page
from the computer, as opposed to lugging a reference book into the copy
room, convinces most kids. I have not heard that teachers in this area
have refused to accept e-books, but I will check further.

Subject: [Web4lib] Getting teachers to accept e-books

With more and more reference books going digital, we are having issues
with local teachers accepting the electronic format of the book.  Is
anyone else experiencing this issue and if so what are you doing to
educate the teacher?
