[aisle] Ebooks

[Jennifer Kowaczek]

Yep, eReadillinois --- that's how we access some of our titles. The popular
ones are always on hold because the books are being shared across the state.
So, we are purchasing some titles that only our students can access. Those
are Axis 360 which we get through Follett.

Pricing depends on publisher -- some you purchase for life: higher upfront
cost; some are 12 month, 24 month, 36 month -- good for high demand right
now but might not need as many later (State award titles); some are priced
for a certain number of check outs.

Good luck!
