University of Warsaw is celebrating its 200th anniversary. On this occasion was an exhibition of 200 objects, 200 years. Not only books.
Since the beginning of November, guests of the University library can admire the documents, prints and drawings, books, manuscripts, and collections that have already been digitized. Two centuries of education in the capital have decided to honor also online store Amazon. At the exhibition opening representatives of the company announced that it would give the library 200 devices e-reader.
readers of the trademark Kindle can use, of course, the students, and Amazon in the next three years will provide the Library of e-books. The debtor will not complain – for every reader, will be stored for six thousand books. CCB will most and only University kindloteką in Europe. However, this support of the most famous online store in the world doesn’t end.
protection of Polish heritage
I wonder What Amazon will do for CCB-something more than what is provided electronic equipment. Many valuable books are in the Library, in poor condition and will require digitize.
“
the Company is committed to give them a second life. Thus, they will find new readers that are already in digital form – explain authority-CCB. “
Amazon will give the Kindle readers, but rather, at the end of 2016. As befits a 21. age, e-books, despite the fact that they are in the minority, there is no discrimination. Rules to take them will not be different from the rules for borrowing books traditional, that is, for 30 days, with possibility of extension on the library website. Does not change the procedure in case of loss or damage to the leased read the guilty will have to buy it.
it also will Not be able to resell Kindle – equipment will be engraved with the logo of CCB-u – like books marked with a stamp.
