The MA eBook Pilot Project concluded at the end of June and a slide presentation along with several documents from the project are available for those who might want to review.
Today, Deb Hoadley, Advisor and eBook Project Lead at the Massachusetts Library System is discussing the pilot project during her opening keynote address at the Explore eBooks Minnesota Summit in St. Paul. Her slides offer an excellent overview and are embedded at the very bottom of this post.
Along with the slides we’re also including direct links to a few key documents containing an evaluation and survey findings from the pilot.
