Welcome back!
The world is still in turmoil over COVID, jobs are still in question and Melbourne has, as of midnight last night, returned to quarantine as a whole. Things are mad but, luckily, the Central Coast seems to retain it’s relaxed stance on just about everything while remaining socially distanced enough to avoid a secondary outbreak… for now.
This semester I am studying INF533- Literature in Digital Environments. I am curious about this course and how it can apply to libraries. Will it be all pro-digital literacy or will it investigate the benefits of both eBooks and printed books?
As for myself, I continue to move between digital literature and physical as I proudly display my novel collection in my home, in my photographs and on my bedside table. At the same time, I keep my Kindle and my phone open to digital novels for those times I need to read on-the-go and cannot tote around a satchel of printed work (I am not excessively strong or coordinated, of which both is needed to successfully maneuver a book on a moving bus).
