An updated version of the Digital Media Catalog went live
for the Minuteman Network yesterday, allowing for a much more user-friendly way to browse for and borrow
e-books and audiobooks.
The one thing I’m most excited for in this process is the
ability to read the book in a browser without having to download any software.
For many library patrons that have tried to download e-books over the last
couple of years, this has been the tricky part that has led to technical
difficulties. Assuming all works well with this new version, e-books will be
easier than ever to find and read.
Once you get to a title that you want to read, you'll have the option of downloading it to your device/computer or simply reading it in your browser. Once you click "Read," it'll pop right up and you're set to go. Returning it is just as easy.
