With the invention of desktop computers, electronic learning or
e-learning has become a convenient learning tool of choice for
individuals with busy schedules. For the past several years, there
has been a continuous stream of much needed innovation in the use
of e-learning and these have now become second nature to both
e-learning providers and users. But just as e-learning has enhanced
and enriched our lives, challenges have increased as the creation
of courses and e-learning material evolve. Technology, although it
makes our lives easier, can come with a "not so affordable" price
tag. As creators of e-learning content, after raising money to
provide a costly e-learning initiative, how do we know if our
customers or target audience are really learning? Who is going to
maintain the technology? Who will subsidize the upkeep costs? How
do we know if there is a better product on the horizon that can do
it more cheaply and with more advanced technology infrastructure?

library-related, the book is relevant to non-librarians as well.
This book provides a fascinating examination of one of the most
notorious countercultures in the United States. Skinheads: A Guide
to An American Subculture is an insider's look at the history of
skinheads in the United States, from their emergence from the U.S.
hardcore underground in the 1980s in New York City, Chicago,
Washington, DC, and Los Angeles, to the current scene that thrives
in many major metropolitan areas today. What makes this revelatory
book so compelling is its one-of-a-kind view of skinhead culture
from the inside out. Coauthor Perry Hardy is a skinhead, bass
player for the band, The Templars, and veteran member of the
American skinhead scene since the onset of the movement. Based on
his experiences, plus interviews with dozens of skinheads of all
kinds, Skinheads draws back the curtain to reveal a world that more
often is simply a haven for those disaffected from society, rather
than a subculture of hatred or violence. Includes images of
American skinheads from the 1980s, 1990s, and today that depict
skinhead fashion, hairstyles, and lifestyles Provides an annotated
bibliography of primary and secondary sources in a variety of
formats, including articles from magazines and scholarly journals,
books, and websites
