Hi
List members may be interested to know that my book is now available from Chandos publishing:
'Delivering E-Learning for Information Services in Higher Education'
softcover ISBN: 1843340887
hardcover ISBN: 184334095X
This book deals with e-learning systems selection, deployment and support issues from an Information Services perspective; the text is written by a LIS professional working in IT / e-learning, with the intention of introducing a range of often inaccessible topics for library and related staff, including the background to e-learning, e-learning concepts, major e-learning systems, web-publishing software and related issues such as electronic copyright, Web accessibility and emerging trends, such as mobile learning.
The book does not shirk from explaining the role of technical standards such as XHTML, LDAP and other buzz-words usually the domain of Technical staff.
A glossary of terms and several reference-style appendices are provided including a checklist for Web / Accessibility standards and a categorised directory of e-learning related Web sites.
The book (and related LIS publications) is available from Chandos Publishing http://www.chandospublishing.com (or from the link below). Journal editors are welcome to approach Chandos for a review copy.
Further info on the book (including the contents page and case-study contributors) is available from the link below.
