Today at 11 o'clock the students of archaeology will be confronted with the new media in reading. Their books are scanned and downloaded to an e-reader for them to try and use them through the whole semester as a tool for preparing themselves to the exams. The University library of Trondheim and Tapir academic editions are working together on that project and archaeology students at NTNU in Norway will be the first ones to try such a service from the library. The project started in September 2009 and is trying to collect data on the attitude of the students today in using e-books and e-journals in their curriculum. By the end of the semester a report will be produced and published. Read more about it here
