Welsh valleys welcome e-books

Tracey Caldwell

The National Library of Wales has signed up for almost 300 e-books in an effort to make its resources more accessible to the scattered population centres of Wales.

The library's 350,000 registered users can now borrow NetLibrary e-books on Welsh interests and culture.

Robert Lacey, the man in charge of acquisitions at the library, said: "The benefits from remote access to digitised works are obvious, but there are added advantages for us. We are geographically distant from the major population areas and there is an advantage in offering access to people who are not just in Aberystwyth."

Users accessing the library's website can link through to the e-books via its web catalogue.
