When designing a layout, the designer must be aware of fundamental principles so as to make the design structured and consistent. When planning layout, a designer cannot be random and must consider essential factors, such as the media type, the readers, the design elements and so on. Electronic media, like web pages and electronic books, is a newer media than the print media, and is different in several aspects. Yet, the basic principles of the design are still identical. A solid layout is a great tool in communicating messages visually.

The paper investigated the use of open access and licensed electronic books by the research scholars in academic and research institutions in Karnataka. The rate of response is 92.5%. In addition to questionnaire method, interview schedule and observation method were also used to collect required information. It is clear from the study that a large number of research scholars rely upon open access and licensed e-books for academic and research purposes. The institutions have to subscribe large number of e-books for target users and proper training should be given to maximize utilization of open access and licensed e-books.

Electronic books (e-books) are vital information resources in every university library as they are utilised by users in search of information for conducting research activities, teaching, learning and assignment. This study investigated the relationship between utilisation of e-books and users’ satisfaction in university libraries in North East Zone, Nigeria. Correlational research method was used. The population of the study comprised of five thousand three hundred and seventy nine (5,379) registered library users spread across the five sampled university libraries under study. Stratified random sampling technique was used in drawing the samples and the sample size for this study was one thousand three hundred and seventy two (1,372) registered library users drawn using Krejcie and Morgan (2006) table. Questionnaire was used as the research instrument. Data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics to answer the two research questions, while, inferential statistics of Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (PPMC) was used to test the formulated null hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. Findings from the study revealed that users’ utilisation of e-books and users’ satisfaction with utilisation of e-books for research, learning, assignment and information in university libraries in North East Nigeria were generally moderate. The study also established that there was significant relationship between utilisation of e-books and users’ satisfaction in university libraries in North East Zone, Nigeria. The study recommended teaching of information literacy for library users, acquisition of adequate and relevant e-books in the university libraries as well as discouraging users from using information obtained from online sources such as Google and other search engines as they are mostly ineffective for their research activities, teaching, learning and assignment.

RESEARCH INTO BOOKS AND THEIR TYPES IN POLAND AFTER THE SECOND WORLD WARThe paper presents an overview of research into books and their types conducted after the Second World War by Polish bibliologists. The scholars were interested mostly in academic books, popular books as well as books for children and young people. They explored their characteristic features, presented them as elements of the publishing repertoire as well as serial publications, and discussed their development in various periods. Less interesting to them were the structure and typology of books. In recent years there have emerged studies devoted to electronic books as objects of bibliological research. Research into books and their types is also conducted by specialists from other disciplines: historians, historians of literature and education. Their results are also interesting to bibliologists.

This paper introduces a novel concept on reading assistive technologies for the blind: the TactoBook, a system that is able to translate entire electronic books (eBooks) to Braille code and to reproduce them in portable electronic Braille terminals. The TactoBook consists of a computer-based translator that converts fast and automatically any eBook into Braille. The Braille version of the eBook is then encrypted as a file and stored in a USB memory drive which is later inserted and reproduced in a compact, lightweight, and highly-portable tactile terminal. In particular, this paper presents a piezoelectric ultrasonic actuation approach to design and implement such portable Braille terminal. Actuating mechanism, design concept, first prototype, and performance results are presented and discussed.
