Electronic Library Kiosk Bound for Iraq
From the press release:
The e-Branch kiosks are designed to support educational opportunities for troops and deliver electronic library services and information to customers who can’t get to a brick-and-mortar library.
The freestanding kiosks are quick and simple to use, with touch-screen technology and programmed buttons. The buttons mean that servicemembers don’t have to remember Web site addresses or search for information. They simply touch the buttons on the screen to go to news, sports, scholarly articles or 24/7 virtual reference services from military librarians.
Users also can access a wide selection of virtual library materials: online books, newspapers, journals, magazines, dictionaries and encyclopedias. Additionally, customers can find free information on topics such as education, business, law, marriage and family, health and fitness, government and travel.
