In addition to a regional virtual librarynetwork to which universities will be linked, the project will set up a cyber institute giving professors on-line access to training courses.
Through "Video on Demand powered by Qriocity" customers can instantly rent from a growing library of thousands of Hollywood blockbuster movies across Sony's 2010 models of network-enabled BRAVIA TV, Blu-ray Disc player and Blu-ray Disc Home Theater system.
The library, which has had extended hours this week (at one point more than 250 users overloaded the WiFi network) and showed back-to-back movies for kids and adults, is back to closing at the usual 5 p.m. today.
