E-book sets are a great way to begin building up online ebook access for students. Kimmel (2014, p54) describes bundled sets as a cost effective method to building an online library. They offer recently published works and usually feature many Australian authors and good quality texts. My experience with the Australian Standing Orders for books, is that the works are of high quality, new and titles often appear on recommended reading lists. On the flip side I’ve found these books aren’t always the most popular titles to be borrowed by students, despite lots of encouragement. We are also finding the titles no longer reflect the high multicultural nature of our school population so we supplement with resources from elsewhere.
