APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTINGS
Join the Ohio E-Book Project
The State Library of Ohio invites all Ohio libraries to be part of the Ohio
E-book Project. This statewide project will allow you to provide e-books,
including audio books, to your library customers, at a considerable savings.
The State Library of Ohio has contracted with OverDrive, Inc to make this
project a reality. OverDrive has considerable experience providing e-books
to libraries in Ohio and other states. The State Library will assume the
project's start-up cost, the monthly maintenance fee, and cost of an opening
day collection of audio books. We expect this collection to be available by
July 2005.
In order to be included in this project, a library will be required to:
* Pledge a small percentage of their collection budget to building the
Ohio Project's collection;
* Agree that all digital books will be shared with all other
libraries' customers (those holding a valid library card).
The e-books will be downloadable in Adobe and Mobipocket Reader formats.
Patrons will be able to download e-books (including audio books) from the
computers in their homes, offices, or at the participating library.
There are many issues to discuss regarding this new initiative. We welcome
your input and questions. As this project continues, we will form a
members' advisory council to address issues including: Web design,
collection development policies, cataloging issues and training and
technical support issues.
If you are interested in participating in the Ohio E-book Project, please
contact project leader Rebecca Felkner at the State Library of Ohio by APRIL
15. She will be happy to answer all of your questions. Rebecca can be most
easily reached at rfelkner@sloma.state.oh.us.
