Debbie Martin replied to Patty McClune's discussion Cataloging Kindles and Nooks"In our district we catalog the devices and then add 700 (added author) and 740 (added title) entries for each author/title on each device. This way these authors & titles come up, along with the print copies & any other e-book copies,…"
Patty McClune replied to Barbara Kieran's discussion Looking for ways to advertize new titles added"We post it on our Facebook page. The day after we let the word out we had "The Fault in Our Stars" on Kindles there was a run for them in the library. The trick is having the eReaders available for us to download the new titles! : )"
C Adams replied to Patty McClune's discussion Cataloging Kindles and Nooks"Can you duplicate the MARC record and change the material type to ebook? That's how I'm cataloging them for elementary, so the Nook book and the print book show up.

Hi Patty,
Will DeLamater recommended that I contact you. I am finishing up my masters degree in library science and my dissertation project is on using e-readers with students for instructional purposes. I am interviewing educators about their experience with this. Is this something that you would be interested in helping me with? Just let me know! Thanks!!

Thanks, friend (I've never been "ning befriended" before. I did, in fact, pass your posting with the links directly to my vendor/trainer for COMPanion's Alexandria program. She is in the draft-writing stage of writing guidelines for Alexandria users, most of whom are K-12 schools. As you have noticed, others are looking for guidelines a bit less complicated than Buffy Hamilton's but accurate. Meanwhile, my tech. person tells me I'm also going to get a few iPads, so cataloging the equipment should be the same. With iPads, Wake Forest University resets all iPads to a default setting upon return from checkouts--- so their user agreement warns that any user-downloaded apps will be lost upon check-in. And I'm not sure about cataloging titles on an iPad--if I learn anything, I'll be sure to share it with you and others.
