I have would suggest some kind of limited online viewer, unfortunately that doesn't make them DRM free. //Riley Sent from my Windows Phone -- Riley Childs Senior Charlotte United Christian Academy Library Services Administrator IT Services Administrator (704) 537-0331x101 (704) 497-2086 rileychilds.net @rowdychildren I use Lync (select External Contact on any XMPP chat client) CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email and any files transmitted with it are the property of Charlotte United Christian Academy.

We have ebooks that are not from major vendors like EBL, etc that we have permission to loan. However, I want to be sure that we have some sort of controls on them so that we are not simply distributing free copies. I envision a "system" that would take a non-DRM ebook file (PDF?) and place limits on it for a specific time-frame. This system would also track what is out and what is available. I think think of various individual pieces that may work in my context, but not the full system. There is great potential here. Any musings or thoughts would be welcome. David B.
