Why use and promote JISC E-books for FE?
• The e-book titles are current and relevant.
• The interface is user friendly.
• JISC listen to the Library staff about titles which could be useful, new MARC records and JISC e-mails.

Step 1: Before the students begin their course
Get the tutors on board!
• E-mail the tutors for course criteria.
• Locate any relevant e-books to support course
criteria.
• E-mail links to e-books to tutors so they can
prepare course materials.
• Gives the LRC team an indication as to what to
include in the forthcoming inductions.

‘Generation Z’
According to the data collected by Adobe Education from 26th
September to 6th October 2016, Gen Z students and
educators agree:
• Technology is the defining characteristic of Generation Z
• Gen Z students learn best by doing/creating.
• Creativity will play a big role in Gen Z’s future success and solving today’s
challenges.
The majority of students are…

The majority of students cont…
• Generation Z is only somewhat prepared for the future
• They want more of a focus on creativity in the classroom
• Technology has the most important role in Gen Z classrooms, not in order to replace traditional subjects, but to enable new intersections among them, encouraging new ideas and collaborations.

As an information professional we should not assume students are
aware of e-books and how to use them successfully. As they:
• Lack information/study skills
• Use Google…. Results vary!!
• Unsure of how access and find the information they require
within an e-book / book
• E-books have been through a publication process.
This is why we have put strategies in place to signpost students to
e-book collections

Step 2Student Induction
During the first week of college, students have a LRC
induction.
Each induction will be tailored to demonstrate e-books
which are specific to their course.

Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) Moodle
We add direct links on
Moodle course pages to
ensure textbooks are
available for quick and
easy access.
Tutors can rely on the
course e-books being
available to be used within
lessons. The tutor can
also refer to chapters and
topics within the e-books.

Accessing and signposting
Step 3: Ongoing promotional activities and
strategies
We promote e-book versions next to the print
format on the shelves. We include the direct
link to the e-book version.
• Students are aware there is always a
version available.
• Students have an option to use whichever
version they feel comfortable with.
• Tutors like this strategy, if the student forgets
their textbook they can send the student
down to the LRC for the direct link. Direct link to e-book alongside
popular books in print

Accessing and signpostingAshford LRC has a designated wall by
the front desk just for e-book posters.
Each poster has a direct link and QR
code for direct access and ease of
access.
We’ve found when people are waiting
at the front desk, students often ask
about them.

Follow up sessions with groups

Ongoing communication with tutors. Discuss
ongoing units and topics.
• Linking topics with e-books and adding them to Moodle
pages
• Information sessions designed around e-books -
demonstrate searching, citing and other features.
• New posters for new e-books are designed and sent to
the tutors who display in their classrooms.
• Supporting research requests from students,
e.g. chapter results links
