    Practical Academic Librarianship: The International Journal of the SLA Academic Division 2(2):1-17, 2012 © The Author(s) http://journals.tdl.org/pal Brave New Library World: Lending e-readers and e-books in an Urban Academic Library Stefanie Havelka Lehman College, City University of New York Jennifer A. King Lehman College, City University of New York Adelaide Soto Lehman College, City University of New York Abstract In Fall 2009, the Leonard Lief Library of Lehman College developed a pilot e-reader and e-book lending program, making Lehman the first campus within the City University of New York (CUNY) system to introduce these new services. The following article describes the project from a practical viewpoint, discussing e-reader and e-book vendor selection, user guides, training, lending logistics, and marketing, as well as unanticipated challenges. Keywords: e-book, e-readers, academic library, lending, OverDrive, Sony Reader Corresponding author: Stefanie Havelka [email protected] 1 Practical Academic Librarianship: The International Journal of the SLA Academic Division 2(2):1-17, 2012 © The Author(s) http://journals.tdl.org/pal The Wild West of e-readers and e-books When the Leonard Lief Library initiated its e-reader and e-book program in 2009, we anticipated the evolution of this environment, but we could not foresee the magnitude and rapid pace of change. In 2011 the Association of American Publishers stated, “E-books grew a dramatic +164.8 percent in December 2010 vs the previous year ($49.5M vs. $18.7M).” A number of companies, such as Sony, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble, have introduced new products and revamped their existing lines of e-readers.
