By Nancy K. Herther In July, highlighting the incredible year 2014 was for access to ebooks, the American Library Association (ALA) released results of its 2014 “Digital Inclusion Survey” (digitalinclusion.umd.edu), which found that 90% of American libraries now lend ebooks, up from 76% in 2013. And the U.S. isn’t alone in this growth. In Britain, it has been estimated that the consumer ebook market will triple within the next 4 years, with ebooks outselling printed editions by 2018 (“Ebooks on Course to Outsell Printed Editions in UK by 2018”; theguardian.com/books/2014/jun/04/ebooks-outsell-printed-editions-books-2018).

I have been watching this technology since the early models (sometimes called edutainment or simply multimedia) debuted in the 1980s. The logjams that have plagued ebook distribution in the past 10 years in the U.S. seem finally to have been broken up, and it looks like this problem will be resolved shortly within the rest of the world.

Summary: Tim, LibraryThing’s founder, is going to be giving a one-day, almost-free introduction to PHP programming on Friday, June 27, alongside the preconference day of ALA 2014 in Las Vegas, NV. “Enough PHP to Be Dangerous” will cover the basics of PHP, the most common web programming language. It’s designed for people with little programming experience.(1) Instruction will be project-based–a series of brief explanations followed by hands-on problem solving. You won’t emerge a PHP master, but you’ll know enough to be dangerous! (2) We’ll presume some familiarity with the web, including basic HTML. You must bring your own laptop. Where? How do I sign up? We’ll close applications on Monday, April 14 at 4:00 PM EST.

What Does it Cost? Why do I need this? Why are you doing this? Is this officially connected to ALA, LITA, Library Code Year, etc.? Will the class be broadcast? Want to help out? 1.
