[nabs-l] Electronic College Textbooks

[T. Joseph Carter]

More properly, epub is the future, really.  It's just that before 
long, they'll likely be one and the same.

My one actual accomplishment at Western Oregon University (I did make 
one) was that the university now contacts publishers for electronic 
copies of books rather than doing the chop and scan thing.  I won't 
be able to say anything else useful occurred until some legal dust 
settles.  *sigh*
