No Shelf Required 2 looks closely at how libraries are using and managing e-books and e-reading devices. This book expands beyond the pages of the first volume by including contributions from academic, school and public librarians, faculty, and vendors. It begins with examples of real-world libraries whose collections are mostly digital but not completely bookless. Chapters 2 through 7 focus on different perspectives on e-book access. Chapter 2 covers a social worker's take on e-books and the impact on the family. Chapter 3 is about e-book and e-book reader accessibility issues and the Americans with Disabilities Act, specifically how to provide mainstream e-books to all. Chapter 4 explores access to e-books in the mobile environment, including the impact of e-books and mobile devices on libraries and the need for libraries to remain flexible.
