E-Book Collection Development

Does anybody think that librarians of early last century cared less for children or had poorer taste in books? Of course not.

Here is a curated database of books recommended by librarians from ago, books that are now widely available as free e-books. I searched through Google Books and found collection development articles from librarians in the late 1800's and early 1900's and cross-checked those lists with e-books available for free.

Start your e-book collection development here; find great books that you can recommend to your students and even pre-install on your school's iPads.

This site -- still in development but usable now -- is a resource and a forum -- come back and review these e-books and authors, and, collectively, we can establish a pretty nifty e-book curriculum, a gift from 19th and 20th century librarians to the 21st century and, through us, to future centuries.
