New to ebooks--looking for library tools

I'm glad to find this virtual community! I'm a librarian at a small and growing school. I'm looking for ways to add mobile technology. My learning curve is pretty steep. I don't own an e-reader yet.

Hi and welcome.
You probably need to at least get some bookreading software on your computer and start using this to see what is around. Do get an ereader, even if it is a "cheapie" as it will very difficult to make good decisions for your library without this hands-on experience, it isn't just like reading a paper book in a digital format.
There are probably a few librarian members of this forum so ask questions!
There is a very good digital library at my university - http://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/ and a link to this site on your library's web site might be a good start to introducing your library users to ebooks. Also there are a lot of texts used by students so it is a good educational resource.
Enjoy!

Start with Calibre at calibre-ebook.com, this is what serves as library management software in the 21st century. Next download and install Adobe Digital Editions adobe.com/products/digitaleditions, this is not really library management as it simply uploads books to electronic readers.
