Apps

Install OverDrive Media Console. Check.
I've had it on my iPad for a while now and use the Electronic Library often, especially when I am studying up to give booktalks to students because there are a number of titles available for J/YA that tend to have shorter holds lists in the Electronic Library.

Right now I have the audiobook for Doll bones by Holly Black. I really like getting audiobooks from the Electronic Library. It is just such a convenient format.

For an ebook I have The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo (because I read Flora and Ulysses and it was so adorable I now have an urge to read ALL THE THINGS Kate DiCamillo).

I usually use the Electronic Library to check out romances on those days when I just want something light and fluffy to read. I particularly enjoy Sarah Addison Allen and Kristan Higgins.


Explore the BiblioNB app. Check.
This app comes in handy. Particularly when the OPAC is being slow and I have my phone with me so I can just look something up faster in the app. It would be handy to advertise the app next to OPACs for patrons in a similar situation. There's totally a tent card for that. It's on the NBPLS Sharepoint site under "Technology and Computers" and then "Promotion".
