I think NetLibrary and Project Gutenberg are both great. I know that sometimes our students shy away from using the ebooks, but I think it would be great for research. Personally, I don't think I would want to sit and read a novel on the computer. I would much rather curl up on my sofa or in my bed with a book. I also do not have any of the hand-held devices that would allow you to carry it around with you, although I can see the advantages of that.
Our BI people are talking up the NetLibrary and other ebooks in the library classes, so maybe they will get the usage they deserve.
