Whatever your stance on the paper vs. e-reader debate (this article appeared in the Twin Cities' Star Tribune this weekend), chances are that many of your patrons will be using e-readers. Did you know that the SLIS Library has a bunch for SLIS students to try out? We have several Kindles (Fire, Keyboard, and Touch), a Nook Color and a Nook Simple Touch, and an iPad. Summer's a great time to play around with an e-reader (anyone else hiding a summer romance novel cover?) and get to know what the fuss is about.
