Using the Web to Enhance a Love of BooksPresentation to Library Harvest
Our Mission
Dulcinea Media publishes content and builds web-based tools that helps educators teach students how to use the Internet effectively, efficiently, safely and responsibly. Products include: http://www.findingDulcinea.comhttp://www.SweetSearch.comhttp://www.SweetSearch4Me.comhttp://www.SweetSearch2Day.com
The Threat
Students use the Internet at every opportunity
= Less time for reading books for pleasure?
The Vision
Educators can leverage A wide range of Web sites and tools
to foster a love of reading
The Good News
Smartphones, e-readers and the iPad offer opportunites to enjoy books as a multimedia experience.
Los Angeles Times:
“Digital technology is also transforming reading from a famously solitary experience into a social one.”
http://articles.latimes.com/2010/jul/18/business/la-fiw-0718-reading-20100718
The Opportunity
Most kids do not yet have expensive, fragile mobile devices.
Librarians can use the Web to promote and enhance a love of reading books.
Introducing students to these sites now will make it more likely they will embrace books when first using a device with e-reader capabilities.
Library Journal
“The future of reading is very much in doubt.”
“In this century, reading could soar to new heights or crash and burn.”
“Clearly something important and fundamental is happening to books and reading. Libraries need to be part of this reading revolution.”

Interactive Online Communities
Experience simultaneously a book group, a computer, and a book.
We believe firmly that people want to read, annotate and discuss, right there, immersed in the text.
We also respect the solitary side to reading: people should have the chance to tune out the community.
