David,
A US company called OverDrive recently gave a presentation on e-books at
a Central Buying Consortium (CBC) Library Group meeting. A number of
library authorities within CBC have since signed up with OverDrive,
including Bexley. We will be paying an annual subscription (for the next
3 years) which includes an amount that can be spent on content (i.e. the
actual stock).
OverDrive are already working with Luton - see

Hi
We have heard reports that some authorities are looking at stocking
eBooks
as part of their stock, but we are unable to find out any more
information.
Does anybody know any more?
