Week 9 Netlibrary

Have created an account on this. Not very keen on the medium so personally didn't find anything I wanted to read - find the format frustrating to use/read - slow and cumbersome. Might feel differently if I was using it for study. The main use I see for digitised books is using digitised versions to preserve the originals. I see a problem long-term though with preserving the technology needed to access the digitalised item. Hard copy may prove more long-lasting.

No problem, at least you got to see how it works!
