[OPLINTECH] Ipads for library use?

[Bell, Ken]

We have two tech boxes that go around to different locations. Each box has an iPad and a couple other tablet devices. Currently these go to staff members so they can become familiar with the gadgets. We include a few basic excercises to increase familiarity. I recently met with the teen/children librarians to discuss this tech and there might be interest in using them with the public, but nothing has been formulated yet. If you plan on using it just for an ereader class, you can get Android tablets that do the same thing for less money.

Is anyone using i-pads at their library? If so, what are they being used for?
We are looking into purchasing one to use for our e-book reader class. I am looking at either an ipad mini, 2nd gen or 4th gen.  If it could be used for something else besides this class, would it be better to purchase one with a bigger screen for more $ or go with the mini for less $. For the purpose of the class a mini or a bigger one will work.

Thanks in advance!
