Virtual Book Markers Needed for Digital Library and E-Book Initiatives







Have you ever read a book online and felt compelled to keep on reading even though you did not have the time because you did not want to lose your place? This is actually a serious problem for people who like to read books online. Not everyone likes to read books online because it kind of strains the eyes and yet it sure saves time from going down to the bookstore and buying the book (if it is even in inventory or in print) and you can peruse a book before you buy just like you can when you look at the shelves at the bookstore.

Once you get to the digital library you start perusing a book and decide you want to read a chapter or two, but then in an invariably something comes up in your life and you have to stop what you're doing and stop reading. Unfortunately once you lose your place it is hard to find it again and you still have to find the web site where you are reading the book in the first place. If you are doing a research project you may wish to come back to the book and that is why we need virtual book markers.

A virtual bookmarker would be something that digital libraries and e-book initiatives would have for those who read online. The E-book reader would hit a tab at the top of the page and it would create a virtual bookmark to hold a place. It might also activate the bookmark on their browser so they can get back to the exact same page. By doing as it would help people who read in the virtual world and make things user-friendly, as it would be similar to how they do things in the real world.

Virtual book markers are needed for Digital libraries and e-book initiative projects. I certainly hope this article is of interest and that is has propelled thought.
