I was on vacation and then feverishly preparing for outreach, so I didn't get around to things 7 & 8 until just today. And I wanted to try to download stuff on my mac instead of my work computer, just to see what the limitations would be, if any. So here I am at work with my laptop, using our free wireless, signing kids up for summer reading, making sure they don't take too much pizza, and downloading an audiobook from the website.
I wanted to download a video, because I can't stand listening to voice actors slowly work their way through audiobooks, but that isn't possible for a mac yet. So I downloaded the overdrive software and found one of the very few mp3 audiobooks that wasn't checked out. It was a book about conspiracy theories by Richard Belzer from the tv show Homicide!
All in all, it was limited for Apple users, but pretty easy.
Good to hear because though our patron computers at the libraries are PCs, many people (including me!) bring their laptops (often Macs) in to the library to use and I haven't had time yet to try some of this at home on my Macbook, but this is encouraging!
ReplyDeleteDoes Richard Belzer actually READ the audiobook? I may have to check that out!!!
ReplyDeleteHope there was enough pizza for everybody...
Leigh Anne, Belzer DOES read the audiobook! I was excited, too.
