This is Week 7 of RCPL Tech Challenge
I downloaded the audiobook Horrible Harry and the Mud Gremlins fromNetLlibray without any problems.
This site seems to be user friendly and is definitely one that I will use in the future.
When I tried to download a music title from Digital Media Catalog they were all checked out. I tried to download several OverDrive videos that I had checked out but was unable to proceed. For me, it was hard to determine why it would not work. I have all of the required elements on my computer but for some reason OverDrive was not successful for me. The selections were very interesting and I was very disappointed. In the future, OverDrive would be my choice for downloadable media.
Library usage of downloadable materials is great for patrons. We have so9 many that use books on cd when traveling and many of them are gradually starting to use Net Library. With so many using MP3 players I am proud of the fact that we are one of the two libraries in SC to offer this service. One of the nicest services would be for the handicapped that have trouble reading or even holding a book. All they need is a friend with a computer and a RCPL library card.
On the down side, I think that Overdrive will present many headaches for staff. It does not seem to be as user friendly and will need considerable technical advice for our patrons.
