the technology of netlibrary where you can download/check out a book on your pc and then it
disappears when it is due with someone with a handheld being able to go to an online library
of ebooks their library has purchased, downloading a title and it disappearing when it is due,
becoming available for someone else. I found an article which states this dream/wish much
better than I can by Stephen Wood, Director of the Cleveland Heights-University Heights Public Library
The Public e-Library:Caught Between
Two Opposing Models. I wonder if OCLC and netLibrary would consider what Stephen calls
a marriage between the ebook model of the pc and the handheld?
Two great conferences going on this week, PLA and Computers in Libraries!
This interesting article on high speed Internet on the handheld coming our way from

High-speed mobile Net access is on the way. (from MIT's Technology Review). How exciting!

Carol Galganski made a discovery that Medical Books Direct now has a pda section with
hardware and software making it a convenient one stop shop for pda needs. As I work
this week on getting our content/device list ready, I will share it with you and my experience
working with numerous vendors and the time this took. Is anyone else using a book vendor
to do ordering of their pda hardware and software?
Have a great day!
