I'm looking for any advice on how libraries have handled ebooks on
reserve. We have recently been asked to put a title on reserve that is
only available as an MS Reader eBook. We see our options as either
downloading to a few select workstations in the library or circulating a
reading device. Neither of these options is very appealing, especially
since many of our readings are online already, and now we'll be asking
students to come into the library to read an ebook!
Any thoughts and/or suggestions on this issue appreciated. Thanks.
