GOT E-BOOKS?

Program: Stephen King's latest release will be sold exclusively as an
e-book!  Vendors are touting e-books as the next hottest thing for
libraries: single copy with multiple distribution, great for off-campus and branch
office access, and no worries about copyright.  Vendors also claim that the implementation
process is quick and easy.  Why is it then that not many libraries in Southern
California actually subscribe to e-books?   In this meeting, we invited
representatives from two libraries that have e-books to share their
experiences and lessons learned.  What questions should be asked before
signing the dotted line?  Was the implementation process really quick
and easy?  And most importantly, what do the library users think?
