C Adams replied to karen Hennig's discussion Kindles in backpacks? in the group Library"I had someone on Etsy.com make bags for the Nooks I lend out from our school library.

C Adams replied to Becky Miller's discussion Purchasing eBooks for the entire faculty to use"Follett Shelf offers a product like this with their Unlimited, Simultaneous licenses. They don't have many titles, but maybe they could check with the publisher and negotiate something for your school?"
C Adams replied to Sharon Minnoch's discussion MARC records for ebooks? in the group Nook Users"Once I get them, I'm planning on adding my Nooks as an AV device with its own MARC, then adding the titles on that Nook in the Notes section of that MARC record. They can still be displayed, and they'll show up in a Destiny search…"
