Subject: [ILL-L] providing access to e-books



Hurricane Rita caused our Library to be closed 4 months in 2005 into
2006. In response, the Library has purchased more than 60,000 electronic
books.

 

Currently we have a deflection on loans of e-book format.

 

 

What if we were to provide access to e-books owned by LHA? Maybe send a
temporary username and password for access?

 

 

Is anyone doing this?

 

 

Thank you for helping me think outloud.

 

 

Paul
