E-books in LIS education

Abstract

The subject of e-books as independent media was integrated into education at the ELTE Institute of Library and Information Science in the first half of 2010. The study presents course topics and methodology. It describes the purpose of the course: students need to understand that the book has been constantly changing. The evolution of e-books today is not a new phenomenon but a new stage in the rich variety of formats. Digital books and e-book versions can only be interpreted within the system of relations of book culture dating back to thousand years.
