Today I am embarking on a new research project with one of my SLIS master's classes and my future as a librarian. I have had so many people ask me if I will have a job as a librarian since "e-readers are taking over the world". So, I thought what a great idea for a research paper. Will I have a job in 5 years or 10 years or will the emergence of the e-reader make the book and thus the need to check out a paper book obsolete, thus making the job of a librarian in a public or school library obsolete? So...the journey begins, lots of questions and lots of reading ahead.
How about you, do you have an e-reader? Do you still check out paper and hardcover books?
Would love to hear your thoughts!
Jane
