We will definitely explore a little more, but school purchasing laws in Texas make it difficult for us.

They use a book recommendation form that is vetted by the library staff. The collection is patron driven and each Kindle carries a different set of titles. The Kindles are catalogued in the OPAC where each title can be listed. http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/learningcommons/ebooks.html

Kathy Schrock also has a pilot project in her library and has discovered “you can have up to 6 Kindles tied to one Amazon account, and, if you buy a single title, you are allowed to put it on all 6 of them”. http://kathyschrock.net/blog/2008/06/kindle-update.html
