Subject: MA eBook Project Announces Launch of Pilot Phase

(Please excuse any cross-postings of this announcement)

Dear Colleagues,

It is with great pleasure that we are announcing the official launch of the MA eBook Project.  This is the first phase of the pilot project and most of the 51 pilot libraries are ready to train and promote this project to their staff, patrons and other stakeholders.

We will continue to update you through the MA eBook Project Blog<http://www.masslibsystem.org/ebook/> and the Resource Guide for eBooks<http://guides.masslibsystem.org/ebookproject>, as we move through the next six months.

I have attached a PDF of the official Press Release, which will be going out to various library and media contacts.  I am also copy and pasting it after the signature line of the email in case you have trouble opening attachments.  Please feel free to pass this press release on to your own contacts and colleagues.

As always, please contact me if you have any questions regarding this project.
