Abstract: This article is a slightly abridged edited version of a final report detailing the background and implementation of a project that introduced electronic book (e-book) collections to Essex Public Libraries during 2004. The research considered e-book collections available for borrowing on a PDA (HP iPAQ) and collections downloadable on to the borrower's PDA or PC (OverDrive, ebrary). The project, sponsored by The Laser Foundation,1 consisted of a partnership consisting between Loughborough University,2 Essex Public Libraries3 and Co-East.4 In addition to a discussion of the findings of the research, guidelines are offered to other public library authorities considering the adoption of e-book collections and mobile technology. Two articles based on this research have been published elsewhere considering the evaluation of the iPAQ trials (Dearnley et al.,2004) and the provision and uptake of OverDrive and ebrary (Dearnley et al.,2005) collections.
