Hi, y’all –

If you work in a Michigan school that is using ebooks in libraries or as textbooks, my delightful student Mallorie would love to hear from you.

Here’s Mallorie’s request:

I’m a graduate student at the University of Michigan School of Information studying Library & Information Services. This semester I’m taking a class on evaluation of educational & social programs. I’m really interested in new technologies being used in education and would love to have the chance to evaluate a school using Kindles (or other e-readers/ e-books), iPads, or something similar. In order to do this evaluation I would need the opportunity to do some observations as well as a few interviews with teachers and administrators. If you’re interested, I can be reached at colvinmj [at] umich [dot] edu.

Thanks!

Kristin
