]]> Comment on Libraries and Readers Wade Into Digital Lending by Chris Foundas http://www.oldtownnewworld.net/libraries-and-readers-wade-into-digital-lending/comment-page-1/#comment-13 Chris Foundas Mon, 26 Oct 2009 20:00:32 +0000 http://www.oldtownnewworld.net/libraries-and-readers-wade-into-digital-lending/#comment-13 Clarkson University is consistently ranked at or near #1 by the Princeton Review in the snarky "This is a library?" category. What most students who take the survey don't realize is that the library has had thousands and thousands of eBooks, something the school has been investing in since the 1990s. As a result, the print circulation isn't nearly as developed as people expect. I think the concept of limiting the number of users who can check out an ebook at a single time is rather novel though. I hadn't heard of that being done before, but it makes more sense than just trying to restrict printing and copying of the text.

Thanks for making this happen.

Using a good content management system allows developers to work on improving accessibility independent of the content of the site.

The speakers were well chosen and their presentations were engaging. It was the first event of its kind in Rock Hill we're aware of, and we're glad to hear it is to be an annual conference. Thank you for including us. It was perfect!

And any time seemed to be heading for the weeds, Jason as moderator helped pull it all together and return the focus to economic development for Rock Hill. Really, a well-run seminar!
