　In 4, I tried reading books that I was interested in, borrowing books, reading books, and trying useful functions unique to e-books.

　In 5, we introduced Aozora Bunko and the e-book service of Kanagawa Pref.Library.

In this course, we planned a rental service with e-books just started by Yokohama City Library.

People who are worried about sharing books with others and are hesitant to borrow books at the library, or those who have difficulty reading print for age reasons why they have left reading. I think there is.
I thought that the use of various functions of e-books and lending services would be effective as one of the solutions.
Although the number of contents is still not comparable to the library collection, students still have fun and interest in taking the course from beginning to end while trying out reading moving picture books, book audio books listened to with ears, magazines and novels. Was.

In the questionnaire after attending the course, there was a response saying, "I would like to teach the convenience of e-books (to those who need it)." I hope that each of the participants will be able to connect what they have learned here to someone who needs next.
