Borrow-a-Nook Pilot Program

Borrow-a-Nook Pilot Program

The UCR Libraries is pleased to offer a pilot program to lend Nook e-readers!  We have 10 Nooks currently available, each loaded with one of two collections of up to 17 titles (see the title lists below).  You can check out a Nook just like a book. To see the catalog records click on Collection 1 or Collection 2.

This program is made possible through a vendor promotion in which the UCR Libraries won the 10 Nooks. This allows us to try out this service to see if it will be useful for our users.

Please try them out, and let us know how you like them!

See the Nook FAQs for any questions about the Nooks or their use policies.
