E-Books

E-books look great but I had problems actually reading any as our network prohibited it but I was amazed at how much is available in this format. Could be really useful for remote users if the cost is not prohibitive. I will have a look at this from home and see if access is easy. Out of print material would be great to source. I may find I get sick of reading on the screen as it could be very hard on the eyes but I am keen to give it a try.

And here is a video of my favourite play, Richard III. Sadly it is Laurence Olivier, not my most admired actor. I searched for Andrew Jarvis but no luck!

And another, more serious, Shakespeare video.

Found some funny Shakespeare videos so managed to add one. This could be useful for our writers talks and for marketing the library.
