Week 9, Thing 22: Downloadable Books

Looking at Overdrive was a good way to refresh myself with the downloadable services that BCPL provides. Downloadable audio books are so popular with the customers that it is great the library can offer them. Of course if they could be compatible with mac that would be even better. Perhaps in the future the library will be able to offer this service for ipods. Some of the features I liked about Overdrive are the browsing directories and the selection of titles-especially picture books. So many times I have had parents looking for more picture book titles on CDs. I could also see the project gutenberg site being useful for students. When that last copy of the Tempest is checked out, the student can read it online.
