Week 9

Hello again everyone,

This is my last post of the night. This weeks training was all about apps. Specifically apps to do with the library such as OverDrive Media Console and BiblioNB.

This week I learned that the OverDrive app can be downloaded onto a desktop computer that does not have Windows 8. Until now I believed this app was for phones, e-readers, tablets and Windows 8 users only. I also downloaded my first e-book as well as returned it early. Luckily I picked a book I already own so I don't have to feel bad for returning it immediately.

I have had the BiblioNB app on my phone since it came out in August so I had a little bit of an advantage in that regards. I find the app could be a little more user friendly by having a log in option on the main menu as well as a search button. I can find my way around easily enough, but in my limited experience helping patrons on the computer a fair number of them are uncomfortable hitting buttons they are uncertain about. Log in and search seem to be buttons that most patrons feel safe hitting without prompting.

Well that's all I have to say for this week.
See you all next week and happy reading!
