Titlewave
Titlewave is like amazon.com: a distributor of books and ebooks, but unlike amazon it is specifically targeted towards K-12 schools. Wellspring has an account with Titlewave whereby teachers can browse and create a wish list of resources which they think would be suitable being purchased for their department. Currently we are using this account to purchase ebooks only. Please see Ms. Cathy or Miss. Marie in the Library for the Titlewave username and password.
Project Gutenberg
Project Gutenberg (PG) is a volunteer effort to digitize and archive cultural works, to “encourage the creation and distribution of eBooks”. It was founded in 1971 and is the world’s oldest digital library. Project Gutenberg offers over 42,000 free ebooks: most of the items in its collection are the full texts of public domain books.
