Apps

I've already been using the Overdrive app on my iPod touch for a year, and was quite familiar with Overdrive on various tablet and e-reader devices due to helping patrons set up their own Overdrive accounts.  I have found some great gardening books in the library's e-book collection!  Now that spring is in sight (on the calendar at least!), I'm trying to start my garden planning in earnest.  I generally download for 7 days, unless I know for certain that I'll need the e-book longer.  It's only fair to other patrons! 

The BiblioNB app is also installed on my iPod.  I love scanning the barcode on a physical book in my hand and then being taken to the catalogue record if we already own it.  The scanner on my iPod isn't always the best, but when it works, it works!  I've seen iPhones scan incredibly well.
