eBooks – Book Industry Study Group survey released in April (1)  A shi^ from dedicated eReaders to mulJ-‐funcJon tablets (2)  eReader vs. tablet use is also user specific (readers of ficJon tended more

towards dedicated eReaders than readers of technical manuals who tended more towards tablets).

Q2 2013 E Ink reported their quarterly results -‐ sales dropped 46% compared to last year, and the company's net loss was $33.6 million. hbp://www.e-‐ink-‐info.com/e-‐ink-‐q2-‐sales-‐dropped-‐46-‐compared-‐2012-‐expects-‐10-‐15-‐million-‐e-‐readers-‐2013

Chromecast, roku, and Apple TV are heaJng up in a marketplace primed for online tv Don’t forget you can watch tv on your xbox or your computer

13

Oyster, Audible – other book lending commercial systems

14

Keeping up on the latest trends in consumer buying is important. Watch things like IDC (InternaJonal Data CorporaJon) for data on sales. Watch blogs like Mashable and Gizmodo for trends It’s not just about knowing what’s going on in the library world, its knowing what your patrons are doing in the actual world

15

That’s all I’m going to say about what patrons have – it changes, but it’s your job to keep up. I know it sounds daunJng – but it’s actually a lot of fun. You’re overwhelmed when you start trying to keep up, but once you’re in a groove you’ll be waiJng for the next apple announcement like the rest of the geeks

I want to binge – and I can’t binge if I can only watch 3 shows in a week. I want new licensing/purchasing opJons Hoopla got a big get with NBC Universal But I sJll want to see what Overdrive is gexng. It’s a system that we already have that already had access to movie studios. They’re set up for mulJple licensing/pricing opJons. I want to see it before I make any decisions

108

I know a guy, so I got us some screenshots of Overdrive’s upcoming player

109

These are from the desktop player – they are working on adding video compaJbility to the app.

110

Content is king. Our patrons are already using Nevlix & Hulu Plus to fill their movie/tv needs so we’ll have to do A LOT to make them switch to using the Library as their first source for movies.
