Not for the patrons themselves, but for the staff to use out in the stacks, etc. Has your library been doing this long enough to provide feedback? I know the PDAs would be easier to carry around, but they'll also be harder to read, especially for web-based resources. What would you do differently with 20/20 hindsight? I've given them the link to Megan Fox's site, but they're also looking for current hardware recommendations, other best practices, and advice from the trenches. TIA! |
