There is no doubt that libraries must to keep innovated because "the BYOD (Bring your own device world is not only now, it is also tomorrow" (Marcoux, Teacher Librarian). Some of the benefits of BYOD are "the increase of student access to school provided ebooks, etextbooks and moodle units" (Jonson, Head for the Edge) In addition, it helps expand the learning allowing users to do research beyond the library setting. It is also important to mention that from this great advantage there also comes disadvantages such as privacy concerns and the fact that students with low income will be left behind because of the lack these resources.

Hi Diana,
ReplyDeleteI believe that a lot of BYOD's are supplied by the school.
With Kindle Fire tablets selling for as little as $35, it seems like the affordability issue may no longer be a problem. Check for typos!
Thank you Jeff! :)
