Tech Petting Zoo at ASL

Did you know that we have a Tech Petting Zoo here at the Arkansas State Library? If you are a public librarian, you have probably started to get many questions from patrons about the many e-readers that are now on the market, and you may have some of your own. Questions like: How many books fit on an e-reader? Can it also play audio files? How long does the battery last? and so forth. If so, that is where the Petting Zoo comes in. It is a collection of e-readers put together by Donovan Mays, the Coordinator for Technical Support for the Extension Services office here at the library. He holds occasional workshops here at the library, and is also available for site visits at your library to show off the various readers and answer questions. For more information about the Zoo, you can email him at donovan (at) library (dot) arkansas (dot) gov, or call him at 501-682-5291. This service is only available to public libraries within the state.
