- Abstract
An overview of a pilot program at Deschutes Public Library in Bend, Oregon where we have installed a "TechShowcase" that displays six eReader devices for customers to handle. (Kindle, Nook, iPad, Thrive, Galaxy, Sony Reader) The TechShowcase gives the public a chance to interact with a variety of eReaders before committing to a purchase. It also provides an opportunity for customers to learn about digital downloads offered by the library.
