Please add an auction "Sort By" feature - "Longest to Shortest Shelf Life"
Often I need to plan a trip 6 months, or a year in advance, so being able to quickly identify those auctions with a long "Shelf Life" would be helpful. Once we get to a list of auctions, it would be great to be able to sort the auctions by "Longest to Shortest Shelf Life", or whatever you want to call it.
I mentioned this in another thread but thought I'd point this out in its own thread so it wouldn't get lost in the shuffle. Would this "Sort By" option be of interest to others?Last edited by jmbklj; 09-18-2011 at 07:51 PM.
Hi J....not a bad suggestion. We always seem to be planning far in advance. For example, I am trying to find 2012 properties and it isn't an easy task unless I open each property....thanks!

Agree, it would be nice to have the dates up front. As jmbklj said, many of us are planning our trips 6 months and more in advance, and it would be great if we could quickly identify those auctions with a long "Shelf Life". As of late the shelf life has become very short on some of the auctions.

Do people NOT lock doors anymore? Espeically in apartments, where there might be multiple apartments. and ESPECIALLY in Sandusky. WOW....the crime rate in Sandusky is shocking. Starting to sound like a "big city" thing. Murder, drugs, gangs, shootings, break ins, etc. I would lock every door behind me!

Is this Munafo by chance related to the assistant principal at Huron High School?

Finding Book Reviews
Finding Reviews in Periodical Databases
Reviews of books are included in many of our periodical databases. Consider the topic of the book, and then go to the Databases by Subject section on the Tutt Library home page, and choose the subject or subjects that best represent the content of your book.
As a starting place, try searching in Academic Search Complete, our database that covers a myriad of subjects.
You might also want to try a more subject-specific database. For instance, a book on the topic of the science of global warming would most likely be reviewed in journals found in a science database such as ScienceDirect. If a review of a novel is needed, it is best to search for reviews in our literature-oriented databases, such as the MLA Bibliography.
Search Tips
- Type in the title of the book and the author's last name in the "KEYWORD" search box.
- On the search screen, you may be able to limit your results to the material type "book reviews."
- Do not search for the author of your book as "AUTHOR" in the pull-down search menu, as your results will always be zero. In this case, the author refers to the author of the review.
- In the same vein, do not search for the title of the book as "TITLE" in the pull-down menu, as this refers to the title of the article about the review. (In a nutshell, always stick with searching by "KEYWORD" when looking for reviews.)
Other Places to Search
Print book review Indexes
If you have tried the online periodical databases without luck, you might want to use the following print indexes. If the book is old, the Book Review Digest might be particularly helpful because it covers books published back to 1906.
Located in Reference collection, 1st floor lobby Z1035 .A1 B62
Located in the Reference Index Overflow area, 2nd floor north Z1219 .C96
You can search for book reviews in major U.S. and international newspapers. We have the following newspapers online back to their first issues:
"The Atlanta Constitution, historically known as 'the voice of the new south.' Contains first hand accounts of the Reconstruction period and post-war South" to early twentieth century. Full image and full text newspaper articles.
The Chicago Tribune is one of the nation's oldest continuously published newspapers. Source for prohibition debates, mercantile development of the midwest, westward expansion, Settlement House Movement – Jane Addams, Al Capone. Full image and full text newspaper articles.
Coverage: 1881 – 1985
Coverage: 1851 – three years ago
Current issues of these newspapers can be searched in the Lexis-Nexis Academic Universe database.
Where to Find Reviews for Pleasure Reading, Rather than Research
CC librarians and friends contribute to Bookends, a book review blog. We also subscribe to BookBrowse, a database of in-depth reviews and read-alike suggestions that's designed to be a fun browsing experience for readers.

Top Five Best Things About When I Finally Give Birth
September 7, 2011
Mesh panties!
JUST KIDDING. (Although you KNOW those are awesome. Admit it.)
1. Sleeping on my stomach. In fact, this blog post could be an entire ODE to sleeping on my stomach and how I miss it so. It is the best way to sort of burrow into your nice cozy bed and drown out the husband snores. I still slept on my stomach early on in pregnancy, because I am a veteran and wanted to put off the sore hipped, surrounded by pillows side sleeping for as long as possible. But you don't have much choice in the third trimester and at this point, side sleeping BLOWS. I swear, I have DREAMS about sleeping on my stomach.
2. Bending over. Man, I miss bending over. Everything from shaving your legs to cleaning up spilled milk is a Jillian Michaels-worthy athletic event when your belly is so big you can't see your toes. I'm lucky in that I have two cheerful preschoolers willing to fetch my purse from the floor and hunt down that rogue Cocoa Puff. My husband, however, still hasn't mastered the art of picking up his socks, and I haven't yet trained the children to do the laundry. I think it's all the bending over that puts me into a coma by two o'clock in the afternoon every single day.
3. Clothes shopping. Okay, so I'm one of those people for whom MUCH effort is required to fit back into her old clothes (all you skinny girls with bowling ball bellies that disappear two weeks after giving birth have my undying admiration and ire.) In fact, I'm pretty much screwed in the old clothes department until I'm done breastfeeding. However! I am still slobbering over all the cute fall outfit combinations on Pinterest (TELL ME you know about Pinterest, the best and biggest internet timesuck!) I'm lusting after thin cardigans and tall boots and whimsical scarves and tights and jersey dresses and OH WAIT. Even if I lose all the baby weight and more I won't have the body type (Long. Skinny. Near Boob-Less.) to fit into those super cute ensembles. WOE.
4. Exercise. EXERCISE?! I know, I know. But things are getting dire around here. We live two blocks away from Jack's preschool, and by the time we walked there this morning I thought I might die. True, there are a handful of steep-ish hills in those two blocks, but my lungs shouldn't be SO on fire. I had hoped to get more exercise in this pregnancy, but let's face it, naps come first. I don't even think I could pull off one of those hokey pregnancy yoga videos at this point. I'm really looking forward to buying a secondhand jogging stroller, sticking this new baby inside, and just walking around the lake when the older two are in preschool.
5. Keeping up with my kids. Oh I feel like such a rotten parent lately. I am short tempered, beyond tired, and have absolutely no patience for all the dumb bickering these guys get into multiple times a day. I'm talking about when Molly runs in to whine, "I don't want Jack to talk to me!" or when Jack shouts, "But MOLLYMOO you have to SHARE" when what he really means is "give that to me right now." We've got a precious few days of summer left and they're actually sunny and warm and we should be at the beach or riding bikes or splashing in the sprinkler, but all I've got are goldfish crackers and crayons. I know a new baby isn't going to help much in the temperament and tiredness departments, but it's a step in the positive direction! At 35 (or 36? I can't remember) weeks, a routine and the energy to go with it seems SO far away.
Bonus Things I Am Not Looking Forward To: Hair falling out (and growing back gray). Nursing bras. No more "because I deserve it!" ice cream. No more good excuse for missing meetings and obligations and somewhat unexciting social events. Having to actually DO the exercise, not just THINK about it. Typing one-handed. That awful moment when the maternity clothes start to look ridiculous but the old clothes still don't fit. ETCETERA. ETCETERA.

Interview with Mark Lefbvre of Kobo: Writing Life Platform
Posted by: | CommentsKobo launched its new self-publishing dashboard at this morning's BookExpo event, and the Director of Self-Publishing Services and Author Relations was on hand for an interview with GoodEReader to talk about what Writing Life offers both traditional publishers and self-published authors in terms of real-time sales data, notifications, and foreign language markets.
IDPF Announces Speakers and Program Info for Digital Book 2012
Posted by: | CommentsBook Expo American 2012 is going to be happening in a few months and Good e-Reader will be on the scene bringing you the latest interviews and digital publishing news. One of the great aspects of this conference is all of the other events occurring at the same time. The International Digital Publishing Forum is a can't-miss-symposium and normally sells out very fast. The company today announced its speaker list for their annual conference.
Featured speakers at Digital Book 2012 will include best-selling authors Seth Godin and Bella Andre, as well as publishing CEOs and senior executives including Jane Friedman (Open Road Media), Madeline McIntosh (Random House), Otis Chandler (Goodreads), Matt MacInnis (Inkling), Vikram Savkar (Nature Group), Ken Brooks (Cengage), Samantha Cohen (Simon & Schuster), Tom Turvey (Google), Kent Freeman (VitalSource), George Coe (Baker & Taylor), Ian Singer (Library Journal), Dominique Raccah (SourceBooks), Richard Nash (Small Demons) Eric Hellman (unglue.it), and Ernie Sander & Laura Owen (paidcontent.org). Noted technologists presenting at Digital Book 2012 include Liz Castro, Peter Meyers, Liza Daly (Safari Books Online), Bill Kasdorf (Apex), Woody Sears (iStoryTime), Micah Bowers (Bluefire), Roger Webster (Barnes & Noble), and Dave Cramer (Hachette Book Group).
Topics covered in the one-and-a-half day program will include "indie" authors discussing how to parlay ebook sales into best-seller status, publishers marketing, and selling directly to readers, and startups enabling breakthrough business models and new forms of book and content-focused online communities. Enhanced, interactive, and high-design eBooks will be covered in-depth from both business and enabling technology perspectives.
The latest digital book delivery options will be reviewed, including ereaders, tablets, apps, websites, and formats, as well as the latest tools, including HTML5, EPUB 3, Kindle KF8, Apple iBooks Author, Inkling Habitat, Adobe InDesign CS6, and more. You'll get exclusive real-world case studies, not vendor pitches, including a first-person report from a high school finishing its first year as an e-textbook-only campus. You'll learn about direct distribution and who and what you need to know to get your content distributed in North America and globally.
Aluratek's Full Line of Libre E-Readers
Posted by: | Comments
In a market that is overrun with e-reader devices—there are over forty different e-reader product reviews on GoodEReader.com and more than twenty previews for future e-readers, not to mention the e-reading capable tablets and phones—Aluratek has found its niche in being a one-stop location that meets the electronic needs of a wider market. So in light of the competition from retailers who only focus their product design technology on e-readers, can a company with more than twelve vastly different types of products in its assembly really keep up?
If their presence at BookExpo America and its Digital Zone is any indication, they seem to think so. Aluratek brought its four different Libre e-readers to the exhibition hall and was on hand to explain the benefits of each one.
While this year's Expo saw a return to the simplicity of the e-reader device concept with major companies recognizing that some consumers just want to read a book, Alurtek has already been a provider for the different desires of its reading consumers by offering scaled down inexpensive devices through top-notch machines with downloadable features.
With four very different e-readers in their catalog to choose from, they have a design for every type of reading consumer. From the economically priced low-end Libre PRO, which doesn't sacrifice features like eye-friendly e-paper LCD technology, over 100 pre-loaded public domain classics, and an installed music player, to their upper scale Libre Touch that boasts full color, wifi, and touch screen user interface, Aluratek has made a name for itself by offering choices to its market base.
So how does Aluratek plan to not get lost in the crowd of the e-reader market? Admittedly, they don't have the advertising base that Kindle and Nook enjoy, and their platform is limited to epub files, which they recommend acquiring through Kobo content, Google Bookstore, and the Gutenberg Project. The key to their success is going to lie in not trying to compete with other devices, but in offering users something different.
The lower priced Libre PRO doesn't even have wi-fi, instead requiring its users to connect via USB port in order to download content, a design feature which may not matter to a lot of readers since chances are fairly good that an e-reader owner probably has access to an internet capable computer. The device does offer an SD card reader, so content can be swapped from one device to another or from a computer to the device. The Libre Touch, with its $149 price tag, offers a lot of the features users would find on tablet PCs that can cost twice as much, such as web browser, access to social media, movie download capability, and more. The Libre Air with its wi-fi and Libre Color that seems perfect for reading children's books fit nicely between those two ends of the Aluratek device spectrum, with price points and features to match.
The Rising Popularity of Enhanced E-books
Posted by: | CommentsThis year's BookExpo America and IDPF Digital Book Conference brought exciting announcements in extremely opposite ends of the e-reader spectrum. On the one hand, two major players in the game unveiled to great fanfare and applause new versions of their e-reader devices that brought back the simplicity of reading by promoting a pared down version of a touch screen e-reader. Both Kobo and Barnes and Noble explained the focus behind their new e-ink e-readers, which was "just about reading a good book."
On the flip side of e-reading, there was just as much excitement and discussion about enhanced e-books, which bring a veritable three-ring circus experience to reading. Enhanced e-books are the laser light show of books, with audio playback, embedded videos, and a cornucopia of photographs and graphics that just weren't possible at the onset of digital publishing. Much of the discussion about the new features that EPUB3 brings to the table surrounded its ability to have real-time audio and video tracking through media overlays, allowing the words to keep up with the page in order to improve the experience. Several large companies were proudly showing off demonstration stations of their improved voice-over for children's books, to make it sound a little more like Grandpa reading to you and less like the voice at your local ATM machine.
One of the great things about this trend in digital publishing is that the suppliers are obviously listening to the likes and dislikes of their reading audience. Google E-books' statistic that there are a growing number of readers who own both a dedicated e-reader as well as a tablet PC indicates that sometimes a reader just wants to enjoy words on the page and there are other times when he wants to be immersed in a complete experience.
Blio, whose company tagline is, "Reading way beyond the book," was one such enhanced e-book company that had set up an entirely interactive station at the BookExpo for readers to sample enhanced e-books and the ease of navigation of its cloud-based reading concept.
Readers aren't the only ones who stand to benefit from the entertainment and informational values of enhanced e-books. Indie authors with enough computer skills are finding a lot of satisfaction in developing their own enhanced e-books and self-publishing them. Previously, tablet PCs were pretty much the only platform that could handle the intense graphics levels and video embeds that made reading and writing the book such an experience, but with EPUB3's launch more and more devices will be able to handle the workload.
Frank Vitale, self-published author of The Metropolis Organism, which is available for purchase through PayPal's file sharing platform PayLoadz, had a lot of fun creating his book about the idea of a city as a living organism. It's a manuscript he took a lot of pride in, but from the beginning he realized that his goal for the final product of this book was going to be so photo-heavy that it would be impossible to publish it traditionally and still make it available at a price-point that readers would be willing to spend on a single book. He drew on his experience in filmmaking (Montreal Main) and developed the project as an enhanced e-book; it now contains eleven videos and over 200 color graphics and photos.
"Photo books are expensive for the publisher to make," comments Vitale, "but e-books aren't. The cost for enhanced e-books will be less for everyone, the author, the reader, and the publisher." Vitale's next project is a photo essay book on the GAGA Art Complex, a book that would have been relegated to the realm of aesthetically pleasing (and expensive) coffee table books, a market without a high consumer base; now, as an enhanced e-book the likelihood that more readers will participate in the book is much greater.
Jetbook K12 Color to Hit USA 2012
Posted by: | CommentsA few days ago we reported from the Book Expo America conference in New York where we spoke with Ectaco. They showed off their new K12 and K12 Color e-readers designed for the educational system. We have word today that the Ectaco K12 Color will hit the USA market for the back to school year in September 2011.
Both the Jetbook K12 and the K12 color were designed exclusively for the student market and are highly tailored towards kids in highschool. Both e-readers will have Speaking Oxford English Dictionaries, Speaking Oxford English-Spanish (or one of the soon available 38 languages) Dictionaries, the most comprehensive electronic SAT preparation course with endless lessons, Speed Reading courses to aid students in learning to read faster, English-Spanish (or one of 12 available language pairs) Text Translation System that can translate any text in full, English, Spanish and other language grammar courses, Interactive Phonetic Language Teacher program to teach virtually any language step by step, Linguistic crosswords, Graphing, Scientific and Accounting Calculators, Math, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Earth Science reference books, interactive course of US History and Facts, interactive Periodic Table of Elements, Text and Voice Note storage, Audiobooks Player, and much more.
The most interesting of the two e-readers is the K12 Color; it is a re-branded Havon 9.7 inch e-reader. We first saw the Havon color e-ink reader using e-inks new Triton technology when were at CES. The color e-reader had great refresh rate and displayed comic books and ebooks very well. It featured a 9.7 inch screen and a resolution of 1600×1200. The unit is powered by a Freescale 800 MHZ cpu processor and uses WI-FI to connect to the internet. It also has a built in accelerometer to switch between landscape and portrait mode.
Ectaco confirmed with us today that the company is providing the firmware for the K12 Color in the European, American, and Russian markets. This ensures that that the device is moving in a direction that Ectaco is familiar with, while releasing a device supporting many different languages with a ton of custom firmware. Although Ectaco has released many different e-readers before, the K12 series moves the company into a modern direction with a device brimming with custom software.

Hewlett Packard Brings New Life to Old Books through POD
Posted by: | CommentsHewlett Packard, a long-time industry leader in printing, introduced two new business models at this year's BookExpo. The first was very similar to OnDemand Books' Espresso Business Machine, in which individual titles of books can be printed, bound, and covered on-site in any location that it services with the HP product. While this model may not be ideal for every retail bookseller, both formats are gaining popularity with smaller, independent bookstores that cannot afford to carry or store a large stock, as well as academic and campus bookstores that need to meet the proportionally small consumer demand for very specific titles.
The second methodology behind HP's new design is the ability to preserve older, out-of-print texts by creating exact copies of the original and then treating those digital copies as any other print-on-demand title. The software that makes it possible to preserve an out-of-print book in this way allows for the choice between original text or updated and error-correction print to reflect current language conventions, as well resizing and reformatting of the texts to eliminate the page numbers that would not be compatible with increased or decreased font size on e-reader devices.
Additionally, once the text is preserved, it can now be stored and remain available as an electronic text, ready for distribution to any of the platforms that are compatible with the industry standard EPUB. The preserved titles can also be read for free on the HP website.
Google eBooks at BookExpo America
Posted by: | CommentsUndoubtedly, Google is one of a select few internet power players, and the launch of the Google e-books division in 2004 is no different. Playing off its savvy online presence, the e-bookstore made over four million e-books available to almost every e-reader, Apple, or Android powered device. Since March 2011, there have been more than 2.5 million unique downloads of the Google e-book app.
So if they've got things under control, why such a large presence at the BookExpo America event? Answer: to find out more about how the world is perceiving e-reading in order to stay on top of the market that they worked so hard to build.
One of the interesting points that Abe Murray, project manager for Google Books, made in his opening remarks at the IDPF Digital Book Conference is that Google has discovered that e-ink isn't going anywhere. This is proven by two different dedicated e-readers being launched during the opening two days of this event, both of them incorporating both the Pearl e-ink and the touch-screen features. According to Murray, the number of people who choose to do their reading on dedicated e-reader devices has not gone down in the face of widespread tablet availability and selection, although a growing number of people own both an e-reader and a tablet, and a still tiny sliver of the population owns three or more of these devices.
That's a profound statement given his prior statistics concerning e-reader platforms: one in four users does their e-reading on a phone app, one in five reads via a dedicated e-reader from any of the sources, but nearly one-fourth of all readers are doing so on tablets.
Throughout this Expo and the various press conferences associated with it, there has been an undercurrent of a return to simplicity in the typical e-reading experience, a drive to bring reading back to a basic enjoyable pastime, as evidenced by two of the major e-reader platforms—Kobo and Barnes & Noble—introducing scaled-down elegant simplicity in their newest launches. Google reiterated that sentiment with the acknowledgement that any of their titles can be read on any open format-compatible device and by announcing that of their more than 7,000 publishing partners in the U.S., most are already e-publishing partners and the rest hopefully will be forthcoming in an effort to continue the popularity of e-reading.
Google's presence at the BookExpo America event was part of its ongoing effort to bring e-book titles to its catalog by bringing publishers, authors, retailers, and readers together, according to PR manager Jeannie Hornung. It is also bringing more of a spotlight to some of the interactive features that are making their way into Google's titles, as well as highlighting the fact that it has integrated reading on the cloud for those e-book enthusiasts who have not limited themselves to one specific device for digital reading.

• Read the 2012 Journal of Neurosurgery: Pediatrics report on magnets and shunt valve settings.
* * *
The computer tablets that are so helpful to students across the country also may pose a health risk to some if they get too close to magnets in the tablets.
Shonda Knop's 6-year-old son, Jacoby, likes to use his first-generation iPad, and Knop considers iPads a great educational resource. But the Fremont, Neb., mom is concerned that magnets in newer versions of the Apple device — the ones his classmates use — could cause a pressure-control valve in the shunt in Jacoby's head to malfunction. That could lead to too much or too little fluid being drained from around his brain, possibly causing seizures.
So Knop is calling on Apple to take the magnets out of iPads to remove any risk.
Jacoby was born with spina bifida, an opening in the spinal column through which the spinal cord can protrude. Complications can range from minor physical problems to severe physical and mental disabilities.
Jacoby is unable to walk and has hydrocephalus, which is a buildup of cerebrospinal fluid in and around the brain. In Jacoby and others with the condition, the fluid is drained into the abdomen from a shunt in the brain.
Doctors formerly had to perform surgery to adjust shunt valves. For many years, though, they have been able to make adjustments using a magnetized programming device.
The problem is that devices that use magnets also can alter the valve settings if the magnets get too close to the shunt.
Last year, University of Michigan researchers tested what happened to the valves using newer iPads, which have magnets on two sides that allow a magnetic cover to be attached. They found that the covered devices, when placed a centimeter or closer to the programmable valves, changed the valve settings 58 percent of the time. Setting changes occurred 67 percent of the time when the tablets were without a cover. The tablets rarely reset the valves at distances of up to 5 centimeters away, they said in the report in the Journal of Neurosurgery: Pediatrics.
The solution seems simple: Keep such devices a safe distance from one's head. But Knop said kids don't always follow directions, and table mates could pick up an iPad near Jacoby and hold it close enough to his head to cause a problem.
In April, Knop said, Apple officials helped the family find a used first-generation iPad that doesn't pose a problem for him. "That was super nice of them," she said. "I think Apple is a great company. But unfortunately, with all the updates and all the new apps coming out, his iPad is so old it can't run a lot of the newer educational programs."
Apple didn't respond to requests for comment.
Knop in recent weeks also has been unable to get anyone at Apple to respond to her concerns, so last week she created an online petition at change.org asking Apple to make a magnet-free iPad cover "so Jacoby and others with other disabilities can safely use iPads to learn." The petition had 731 signatures as of Wednesday afternoon.
Doctors have known for years that shunt valves and other medical devices could be affected by magnets, said Dr. Ken Follett, chief of neurosurgery at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.
"It's not so much an issue of iPads, I think, as it is magnets in general," Follett said. "You think about how common magnets are in everyday life," he said, noting that stereo speakers and refrigerator door seals have strong magnets.
Follett said one of his patients with Parkinson's disease used to activate a pulse stimulator in her deep-brain stimulator by opening her refrigerator door and leaning against the rubber strip inside the door. Such stimulators, he said, now are controlled electronically instead of by magnets.
Mark Shepard, an associate superintendent with Fremont Public Schools, said the school Jacoby attends has only eight iPads for student and teacher use, but the district's foundation is raising money to buy 360 iPads for the district's seven elementary schools.
The district, he said, is "cognizant of student issues, definitely student health and safety issues, and we try to make whatever accommodations we need to and work with parents and work with families in that regard."
