ELECTRONIC BOOK ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY

As a participant in the Electronic Book Loan Pilot Project, I understand that the project is a costly one, and that I am responsible for careful use of the e-book reader and its peripherals which I borrow. Responsible use ensures that the project can continue and allows others to share in this new technology. I understand that if I lose or damage the e-book reader and its peripherals which I have borrowed, I will be responsible for replacement costs.

I have read the Acceptable Use Policy and agree to abide by its terms.
