We are in the very early stages of using e-books.  We are using Dawsons as our supplier as we have always found them to be helpful and efficient and are hoping that they will guide us through our e-book experience.  We had a 30 day free trial to start with and the general consensus was that e-books were a good idea.  We have now successfully placed our first order, but have not managed to access the book yet, so more tweaking still to do!

Hello everyone,

Mary and I are now looking at developing our collection to include
e-books.  We had a very informative visit to Dawsons Books last week and
are quite keen to go ahead.

Does anyone have any experience of e-books?  What suppliers are you
using?  How do your students and staff access them?  Any comments will
be much appreciated.

I noticed that Wiltshire College is on their list as a customer.

Karen from Moulton was also at the Dawsons event so I expect she will
look at replies with interest too.   Please post replies to the list and
not direct to me.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Melanie
