ebooks/audiobooks

Audiobooks have been considered a useful format of publishing for a while now, especially for people with vision impairment. They are also fabulous during a long car journey where you can listen to them on the way :)

eBooks are still establishing themselves in the user market, but have come a long way in recent years, especially with Amazon's development of the Kindle reader. *2014 update* EBooks have certainly made their mark on the library environment, with many retailers specialising in 'lending' through the library. We have considered eBooks in our library, but the timing was not considered right at the time. I have not yet had the opportunity to revisit the option of eBooks.

YouTube

I can definitely see the value of presenting video format online. It is also a great way to store assignments of students. Many great explanatory videos can be used in classrooms, as well as videos that may put a comedic slant on seemingly dreary topics.
