We support this, host the PDFs on an internal-to-our-campus server, ensuring that we have the rights to do that in any license we sign for it or discussion we have with the publisher/vendor.

Hi Acqneteers,
We've started getting requests for individual e-books in PDF format that aren't part of a package or service. It's easy enough to buy and download them, but we're wondering what to do with them next. If we put them on a server we'd be distributing something for free. Printing them out or burning to disc seems clunky. Any ideas from the collective wisdom?
