Brigham Young University Harold B. Lee Library recently attempted an interesting pilot project combining technology with an innovative new library service. Their plan was to fill faculty requests for interlibrary loan materials by lending Amazon Kindles with an e-book version of the requested item. Unfortunately, the pilot has been discontinued due to lack of written agreement with Amazon. Taking a look at such initiatives from other libraries can inspire new ways of thinking about how we can harness emerging technologies to improve library service for ECC faculty and students.
