ebook visibility

Changes were made to the website February 1 and the OnDemand tab has been renamed Downloadables. Staff gathered input from patrons to ask what term made the most sense to describe the collection.

Besides the tab name change, the Downloads page changed, also. Now patrons are presented with three choices: ebooks, audiobooks or music. From there, the ebook and audiobook choices are further refined by vendor.

We hope this change provides easier to understand navigation for you!

News for the week

You can now see the Classic Catalog tab on the website. Easy access for those who want to search this interface.

Look in the near future for more lists of new materials under the Coming Soon links. We're working on it!

In the meantime, I received a great question from a patron who was looking for ebooks (those which you download and read off of another device). You can find them on our site through a couple of different paths:
1. Books tab > Browse books box > Ebooks
2. OnDemand tab > Browse box > Online books

These paths will take you to our vendor website where you can peruse a number of ebook titles. But then he asked what kind of ereader he should buy. There are many options and more are being brought to market all the time! I suggested a couple of articles from PC Magazine and from Wired Magazine which discuss features. Happy reading - what is your preferred format and why?
