Program: Everything You've Ever Wanted to Know About eReaders…but were afraid to ask

Presenters: Ron Kirsop, Chris Finger, Lindsay Stratton, and Pat Finnerty

eReaders sometimes evoke concern for libraries. Common questions we've heard include:
• Should we be circulating them?
• What if the patron doesn't return them?
• Are there legal issues associated with eReaders?
• How do I decide which ones to buy for my library?
• What are the differences between all these new devices out on the market now?

It's enough to make you crazy! Come learn the basics of eReader devices, policies, content and other issues and how you can successfully integrate eReaders into your library.

Facilitator: Pat Finnerty
