[ILL-L] ALA Chicago - STARS Hot Topics Discussion Group Topics

[Sue Kaler]

Hi Margaret,

Is this appropriate for the hot topics?  Because postage has gone up so 
much, we are more interested than ever in finding free ebook versions of 
items our patrons want and delivering to them that way.  How do we become 
aware of groups of such material?  For example, it was a shock to me when a 
library down south told me their copy of an item was too fragile to send, 
but instead aimed me at Cornell's Making of America collection and there it 
was.  Who knew?  I've recently found The Online Books Page, 
http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/, run by John Mark Ockerbloom.  What 
else is lurking out there on the net?  How will the whole Google Books 
settlement fit into things?
