High-tech bibliobus – The Digital Bookmobile

bookmobile.jpg

Zijn wij nog bedroefd over het verdwijnen van de bibliobus uit het Nederlandse dorpsleven, in de Verenigde Staten werd gisteren bibliobus 2.0 gepresenteerd.

The Digital Bookmobile, developed inside a 74-foot, 18-wheel tractor-trailer, is a high-tech update of the traditional bookmobile that has served communities for decades. The community outreach vehicle creates an engaging download experience around the host library’s digital media collection and ‘Virtual Branch’ download website. The vehicle is equipped with broadband Internet-connected PCs, high-definition monitors, premium sound systems, and a variety of portable media players. Interactive computer stations give visitors an opportunity to search the digital media collection, use supported mobile devices, and download and enjoy eBooks, audiobooks, music, and video from the library.bookmobile-logo.jpg

De bus is in te huren door bibliotheken en evenementen om bezoekers kennis te laten maken met het digitale vermaak dat voor de moderne mens ter beschikking staat.

Op 10 augustus start een promotietoer bij The New York Public Library en die daarna langs veel bibliotheken door de hele VS gaat.
