We've had interest from a couple of academics. I have a Sony reader on
order and intend to explore ease of uploading pdfs.
I guess the bigger problems will be cost of providing/loaning kit &
copyright implications...

Subject: [LIS-E-RESOURCES] E-readers and Libraries
Hi All,
I'm beginning a project looking at E-readers and the potential use in
libraries.
I wondered if any other libraries had looked into this and what were
your general conclusions.
I'm aware of what is going at Princeton at the moment:

But I was specifically interested to know if any UK institutions were
beginning to dabble?
Thanks,
Carolyn
