Off-Topic: Marking e-readers for circulation

[Anne Holcomb]

We just started an eReader circulation program in our library and "went
live" with it today. A local business owner with a laser engraving machine
engraved our library's logo and name on the back, along with the barcode
sticker numbers for each device (in case the stickers detach). The device
we chose to circluate is the Nook simple touch. It has a rubberized back
and the engraving shows up quite well on the devices.
