FDLP e-book pilot: please test!
Bierce Library is participating in a pilot to provide access to e-books that are published by the U.S. Government Printing Office. Currently, six titles are loaded to UA’s CONTENTdm site, and are available to download from the campus network. Access this collection from the Bierce Library Online Repository.
As a pilot participant, we have been asked to provide feedback to GPO. You can help by reviewing and testing the following:
– Access to the content on the campus network. Proxy/off-site access is not supported at this time.
– Description and metadata for the items.
– Download and view on an e-reader device or platform.
Feedback on any or all aspects of the project are welcome. Please send your comments and questions to Shari Laster no later than the close of business on Wednesday, July 31, so they can be included in the project report to GPO.
