NTLP - Not Typical Library Partners: Issues Facing Libraries that Want to Circulate eReader Devices
http://ntrls.blogspot.com/2012/09/issues-facing-libraries-that-want-to.html
Tuesday, September 04, 2012. Issues Facing Libraries that Want to Circulate eReader Devices.

But it turns out that the Nook Sim...

Thursday, May 31, 2012. Closing Libraries - This Problem Has Been Around for Awhile. I happened across an older sitcom called "Heart's Afire" on www.hulu.com. The episode is titled: The Outsider and it is about someone coming into a community and speaking up for the library. It is a bit dated for sure, but I was encouraged to see the entire episode dedicated to public library survival! Links to this post. Wednesday, May 16, 2012. What's happening at NTLP this week?

Thursday, December 06, 2012. Library eReaders for Homebound Patrons. See the No Shelf Required blog. For a podcast interview about the Dayton Metro Library's program for homebound patrons using Sony eReaders. They began the program when they noticed that certain materials the patrons had requested were not available in large print, but were available from the library as ebooks where the font could be enlarged on the device. It makes so much sense to make eReaders available to these patrons! It covers a w...
