I thought list members might like a change from the usual nitty gritty
topics on this list!
Through our sub to the print IT Week I got alerted to the Zinio system for
e-magazines, that displays issues complete with simulated page turning.
You can get a free issue of Technology Review to test. You have to download
and install their reader too. Issues are downloaded to your PC and saved
there.
Go to http://www.zinio.com/
Not sure of the value to libraries - its more for personal use on portable
devices in the way an e-book reader is - but maybe one to be aware of.
If you have time you might want to play with it.
