| Description |
Librarians purchased twelve ereaders and six tablets to provide patrons the opportunity to experiment with the latest mobile technologies. After several train the trainer sessions, librarians shared device information with the broader health sciences community. Devices were cataloged and made available for two-week checkout. A limited number of books and apps were pre-loaded for all the devices and patrons were allowed to download their own content. Each tablet has Google Books, iBooks, Kindle, and Nook apps available to allow choice in reading ebooks. Upon return, patrons were asked to complete a ten question survey to determine preferences for device use. |
