Dear Ms Karnik The examples I had is a US public library. In India, an academic library (Indian School of Business, H'bad) allows students to upload electronic stuff on to their iPads and pen drives. I think they also lend handheld devices, but you may check it with Dr S Venkadesan, Director of Knowledge Services at IBS. Best wishes.
