<p class="MsoNormal"><b style=""><span style="color:#1F497D">Does anyone have a list of criteria that you use when evaluating digital platforms?</span></b><span style="color:#1F497D"> Long term availability and perpetual access rights is obviously a biggie,
as would be compatibility with library ILS, use of interface, etc. We currently have OverDrive and 3M and will be comparing these with others on the market including Odilo, BilbioBoard, enki, Total Boox, and also Hoopla, Freegal (basically everything we don’t
have).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">And another question: Recently there was a discussion on one of these listservs regarding the migration of all digital content to one platform.
