Our library is researching e-book vendors for the first time. If anyone here on the list has recommendations as to what features we should look for in a plan, or any other recommendations at all, I would appreciate it if you would reply.


The following information about our holdings is from our website:

"The particular strengths of the Bishop Payne Library collection are in the areas of biblical studies, church history, theology, the Protestant Reformation, missions, and liturgics. It is a major resource for the study of Anglicanism. The collection includes source materials from many of the provinces and dioceses of the international Anglican Communion. 

The library collection numbers over 225,000 volumes of books and bound periodicals, 6,800 microforms and 600 music compact discs. The library receives 900 current journals, periodicals, and newspapers in print and subscribes to over 29 computer research databases of indexes and full-text journal articles."
