Hi April,
Yes, we have devised a spine label, simple design using an "e" to display above the dewey and on the inside where the stamp label is. Plus information/guide, how to etc as flyers stuck in books. Also have them on our catalogue of course.
Still not convinced there's enough take up yet. I am now targeting tutors rather than students, to see if they can be got that way round.

Subject: promoting e-books use
Dear colleagues
I'd be interested to know what other libraries have done to promote the use of their e-book collections amongst students. We've recently collaborated with our Graphics students at Ravensbourne, producing e-book covers in physical form. These can be shelved with hard copy collections, to increase their visibility. A colleague from another HEI mentioned a similar exercise in their library.
