We would like to purchase several tablet devices, but want to be sure we are aware of the limitations (and advantages) first, so I was wondering if there are any Oregon libraries out there who currently use iPads or similar devices for roving reference…<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>If your library does use these devices, if possible I would like to schedule a short phone interview with someone from your reference department to talk about how they are working for you, what you like/don’t like about them… etc.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Looking forward to hearing from you.
