DENTON, TX--(Marketwire - October 1, 2007) - Patrons of Denton Public Library can now access
a collection of digital audio books, music, and video titles by visiting
http://denton.lib.overdrive.com. Card holders can check out and download
some of the same best-selling titles found in the physical library. Once
downloaded onto a personal PC, these titles can be transferred to
compatible devices and many audio titles can be burned to CD.
To checkout and download titles, patrons will need a library card and
Internet connection. Card holders can check out up to five titles at one
time. After a 21 day lending period, the downloaded titles automatically
expire and are checked back into the collection, so there are never any
late fees. If a title is not available, users can place a hold and will be
notified via email when the title is available for download.
"We are very excited to offer this new technology to our customers," said
Library Director Eva Poole. "This digital collection is going to take us
into the forefront of library services and it also gives our patrons
something they want and deserve."
To learn more about the service, users can read the Quick Start Guide or
watch the Download Digital Media Guided Tour, available on the digital
library site. The free and easy to use technology is provided by
OverDrive, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio.
To download titles from the digital collection, patrons must install the
free software, OverDrive Media Console, which plays back audio books,
music, and video titles. The software is compatible with Windows 98 SE or
higher, as well as Microsoft Vista. At this time the service is not
compatible with Macs or iPods.
