A database is a collection of information on
one or more related topics.
Today we use an online database call
OPAC (online public access catalog).

Early databases searched for magazine
content.
Librarians bought a system called
InfoTrac, which provided a bibliographic
citation with a code number linked to a
sheet of microfiche.

capability.

A digital version of a traditional print book
designed to be read on a personal
computer or an e-book reader.
Constantly changing field and becoming

2. The superintendent is very interested in the concept of e-books as a possible replacement for print textbooks and print reference materials for the school library. You are less sure the concept is feasible but have decided to compare two things: print textbooks versus e-books and print library reference materials versus e-books.
The main problem with e-books is funding and how the e-books will be managed. Will there be enough for every student or will they check them out? Will they go home with the students? I would suggest a mixture of print textbooks and library reference materials with some e-books. Mainly the library reference materials should be updated to online databases. With the money saved from buying updated reference books every year, more e-books can be purchased. However, the cost of e-books is no where near the cost of e-books and the updates that continually need to be done.
4. In this chapter, we discussed two “good” online resource: Google Scholar and Google Earth. Locate three other online resources that you consider worthwhile.

There are many online materials available for a school library.
The library media specialist must analyze and evaluate the needs of students and the different means of online materials in the school library.
The library media specialist should use this information to determine what online materials should be provided in the school library.
