ASERL Friends:

 

You may have seen recent news announcements about the release of Occamâs Reader, a new software tool developed by Texas Tech, the University of Hawaii at Manoa, and the Greater Western Library Alliance to facilitate inter-library lending of ebooks.  Our colleagues at GWLA have arranged for a webinar on February 27 to describe & demonstrate this new tool.  Please join us for this webinar as desired, and share this invitation with other interested colleagues.

 

This session is free and open to any interested librarian; and it will be recorded for later playback.

 

WEBINAR:  âWhat is Occam's Reader?â

Occamâs Reader is a new software program that allows interlibrary loan of electronic books. Developed via a collaboration between Texas Tech University, the University of Hawaii at Manoa, and the Greater Western Library Alliance, Occamâs Reader works with ILLiad to allow Document Delivery staff to lend electronic books seamlessly between libraries. The software currently works with .PDF documents, but the development team plans to support other ebook formats and to develop a standalone, web-based version of the system (outside of ILLiad.)   Please join Ryan Litsey, Kenny Ketner, Naomi Chow, and Joni Blake to learn more about Occamâs Reader; additional information is also available at   www.occamsreader.org .
