> River Parishes Community College is the newest community college in
> Louisiana.  Our library facility is fairly small, with 1500 square feet.
> Fall of 1999 was our first semester to hold classes and we have an
> enrollment of about 100 students.  The Louisiana library consortia is
> considering subscription to NetLibrary, but until it is implemented this
> seems like a really good way to provide access to some electronic books.
> I'll let you know if I find any links and will be interested to see what
> other libraries have done.
