Welcome once more to "From Our Shelves," where I write a short review on a book from our collection that I have read. Today's selection is Words Onscreen: the Fate of Reading in a Digital World. The author asks how different is reading digitally versus reading in print, and then explores how it may reshape what we mean by reading. She looks at the consequences and implications of moving reading from print to digital platforms. She also considers how such change affects teaching and education. The author considers topics such as texts going digital, how writing is reshaped digitally, physicality of reading, and the future of reading in a digital world. The book overall is interesting, and easy to read. It is one that educators and readers alike may find of interest.
See below for details to find it in the library plus library catalog information. The library offers the book in print and as an electronic book, so you can choose your preferred way of reading.
