 | Kitty Gale asks, what are the possible benefits? How would ODBS help her library? |
|
ODBS benefits include: - the ability to scan and publish local materials for the community - a system that is flexible enough to be customized to the community (e.g. BG has a binding system, so a binding machine could be by-passed; digital portal is not static etc.) - cheap method of printing materials that patrons could take home - eliminating shipping costs of printed materials - accessing electronic materials; adjusting online material into print Suggestions for how ODBS could help the library - creation of a youth "scrapbook" where students can see their own work in a bound book - print multiple take-home copies for a family reading program - introduce new materials into the collection; creative commons material could be up-to-date |
