Ventes de livres 2012 : Nutella coiffe J.K. Rowling au poteau

Ventes de livres 2012 : Nutella coiffe J.K. Rowling au poteau | LibraryLinks LiensBiblio | Scoop.it

On aurait tort, pourtant, de résumer le livre en France à la fiction. En témoignent les succès non pas d'essais (à la différence de 2011, marquée par les ventes hors norme d'Indignez-vous !), mais de La conjugaison pour tous, de l'atlas Michelin de la France, des manuels d'anglais Enjoy English... ou du Petit livre Nutella : les 30 recettes culte, paru chez Marabout et vendu à près de 287 600 exemplaires : mieux que le premier roman pour adultes de J.K. Rowling !

The iPad Mini’s Meaning and Impact - on #libraries

The iPad Mini’s Meaning and Impact - on #libraries | LibraryLinks LiensBiblio | Scoop.it

With this smaller device, the reach of the Apple iOS and resources through it expands to more of our patrons (those preferring the smaller device size and smoother integration into their lives) and into more of their spaces. So be prepared for more iOS mobile engagement with your content and services. For librarians’ use: the Mini may be better suited for mobile library staff: easier use with Square and mobile payments, more portable for roving reference, for checking out tablets to users."

RT @sallyheroes: "It appears that the number one thing patrons use the library for is (prepare yourself) books": 

 

"[...] surprised they would select books when they have so many other things to choose from. I imagine he’s even more surprised to learn that something else patrons rate highly is personal interaction with the staff. No one disputes that technology has improved the library experience for the patron. You can search the catalog from home and access our subscribed databases. You can place your own holds, request your own interlibrary loan materials, download books to your own devices.The library is working towards self-checkout, presumably so you can conduct all your library business without ever having to interact with the staff...but for patrons, there’s more to the library than just the delivery of materials. They like human contact."
