Ebooks will appear in the WILBOR collection this week—just in time for the holidays! So for all WILBOR libraries ramping up for this exciting development, here are a few policy points, promotional info, and training opportunities:
• Checkout period for ebooks will be 14 days; checkout period for audiobooks will remain at 7 days
• Maximum number of items for any individual to have in their account remains at 3 items; whether 3 audios, 3 ebooks, or any combination, the maximum items that can be checked out at any one time is 3.
• For those libraries fully participating in the ebook side of WILBOR (meaning those paying in via the cost-sharing formula) look for promotional materials including posters, flyers, bookmarks, and business cards to be shipped to your library soon.
• Also, for those libraries fully participating, you should have already received a sample press release to help spread the good news
• As for training opportunities: Overdrive is offering an online program this very afternoon at 2:00PM. These details were emailed to you last week. No need to pre-register; the program will be recorded. If you can’t make the Overdrive show today, Southwest and East Central LSA offices will offer an orientation to ebooks as they apply to WILBOR. Catch that Dec1 @ 2:00PM and Dec2 at 9:00AM. That’s online in Southwest LSA’s Adobe Classroom http://iowaec.na4.acrobat.com/swilsa
