People know that they can buy electronic books, but how many of your friends know that YOU <em>are&nbsp;reading the free library versions</em>?</p> <p>The advantages of reading and listening to electronic books are numerous. You can read or listen to them on your favorite electronic device that fits in your bag, pocket, or purse and goes with you everywhere. You can download them any time of day or night from our website. You can read them beside your spouse in bed without keeping him or her awake. You can enjoy the perks of your device, to change the font and font size, adjust the light intensity to your comfort level, bookmark your stopping place, note your favorite passages, and retrieve instant definitions for words that you don&rsquo;t know. To their detractors, I admit that they don&rsquo;t feel like a book. But they do feel like joy.</p> <p>Electronic book lending is burgeoning. OverDrive, the vendor from whom we and many libraries across the U.S. and Canada contract our eBooks, published these amazing statistics about their&nbsp;<a href="http://blogs.overdrive.com/general/2016/01/07/33-library-systems-surpass-one-million-checkouts-in-2015/">electronic library book usage in the last year.</a><br /> As for us, last year, our county library checked out 850,000 eBooks and eAudio books. This year we at Harris County Public Library are inviting you to boost our circulation statistics to one million. Are you with us?!</p> <!--break--><span st_url=http://www.hcpl.net/content/harris-county-public-library-wants-us-check-out-million-ebooks-year st_title='Harris County Public Library wants us to check out a million eBooks this year!' class='st_facebook' ></span><span st_url=http://www.hcpl.net/content/harris-county-public-library-wants-us-check-out-million-ebooks-year st_title='Harris County Public Library wants us to check out a million eBooks this year!' class='st_twitter' ></span><span st_url=http://www.hcpl.net/content/harris-county-public-library-wants-us-check-out-million-ebooks-year st_title='Harris County Public Library wants us to check out a million eBooks this year!' class='st_digg' ></span><span st_url=http://www.hcpl.net/content/harris-county-public-library-wants-us-check-out-million-ebooks-year st_title='Harris County Public Library wants us to check out a million eBooks this year!' class='st_pinterest' ></span><span st_url=http://www.hcpl.net/content/harris-county-public-library-wants-us-check-out-million-ebooks-year st_title='Harris County Public Library wants us to check out a million eBooks this year!' class='st_email' ></span><script type='text/javascript'>var switchTo5x=true;</script> <script type='text/javascript' src='http://w.sharethis.com/button/buttons.js'></script> <script type='text/javascript'>stLight.options({publisher:''});</script> http://www.hcpl.net/content/harris-county-public-library-wants-us-check-out-million-ebooks-year#comments eaudio ebooks electronic books MIll-e Overdrive Texas Medical Center Tue, 23 Feb 2016 02:19:47 +0000 Barbara M 20289 at http://www.hcpl.net September 18 is Read an eBook Day http://www.hcpl.net/content/september-18-read-ebook-day <p><a href="http://readanebookday.com/"><img alt="" src="http://www.hcpl.net/sites/default/files/Read an eBook Day 2015.jpg" style="width: 242px; height: 326px; margin-left: 4px; margin-right: 4px; float: left;" />OverDrive&#39;s<strong> Read an eBook Day</strong></a> is Friday, September 18, and this year we are encouraging everyone to check out an all-time favorite book in digital format and to share the story behind it with us--because that is the great thing about great books: there is always a story behind the story.

In other words, if you&rsquo;re a grown up and feel like you are past the <a href="http://catalog.hcpl.net/ipac20/ipac.jsp?menu=search&amp;aspect=subtab13&amp;term=green%20eggs%20ham&amp;index=.TH"><strong>Green Eggs and Ham</strong></a> stage in your reading life, you can filter out everything but titles cataloged for adults.</p> <!--break--> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Two things to keep in mind:<br /> &bull; This feature only works when you are signed in to your account.<br /> &bull; It is strictly opt-in. If you like the search results the way they are, you don&rsquo;t have to do anything at all. But changing your search settings is fast and easy. Here&rsquo;s how:</p> <p>1. Sign in to your <a href="https://harris.libraryreserve.com/10/50/en/SignIn.htm?URL=MyAccount%2ehtm%3fPerPage%3d40"><strong>OverDrive Digital Media Catalog account</strong></a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /> <br /> <a href="http://harris.libraryreserve.com/10/50/en/SignIn.htm?URL=MyAccount.htm%3fPerPage%3d40"><img alt="account graphic" src="http://www.hcpl.net/sites/default/files/account.JPG" style="float: left; width: 250px; height: 54px;" /></a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>2. Click on Settings&nbsp;<br /> <br /> <img alt="settings graphic" src="http://www.hcpl.net/sites/default/files/Capture.JPG" style="float: left; width: 200px; height: 42px;" /></p> <p><br /> <br /> 3. Scroll to Maturity Levels and simply select the range of content you want from the two drop down menus. If you want only adult titles, select General and Adult as in the example below.</p> <p><img alt="maturity levels graphic" src="http://www.hcpl.net/sites/default/files/mat levels finish.png" style="width: 425px; height: 117px; float: left;" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><br /> &nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>4. Click Save.<br /> <br /> <img alt="save graphic" src="http://www.hcpl.net/sites/default/files/save.JPG" style="width: 275px; height: 67px; float: left;" /><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> That&rsquo;s it. You&rsquo;re done. Now whenever you sign into your OverDrive account, your searches will be automatically filtered to your preferences.</p> <span st_url=http://www.hcpl.net/content/everything-you-want-and-nothing-you-dont st_title='Everything You Want and Nothing You Don't' class='st_facebook' ></span><span st_url=http://www.hcpl.net/content/everything-you-want-and-nothing-you-dont st_title='Everything You Want and Nothing You Don't' class='st_twitter' ></span><span st_url=http://www.hcpl.net/content/everything-you-want-and-nothing-you-dont st_title='Everything You Want and Nothing You Don't' class='st_digg' ></span><span st_url=http://www.hcpl.net/content/everything-you-want-and-nothing-you-dont st_title='Everything You Want and Nothing You Don't' class='st_pinterest' ></span><span st_url=http://www.hcpl.net/content/everything-you-want-and-nothing-you-dont st_title='Everything You Want and Nothing You Don't' class='st_email' ></span><script type='text/javascript'>var switchTo5x=true;</script> <script type='text/javascript' src='http://w.sharethis.com/button/buttons.js'></script> <script type='text/javascript'>stLight.options({publisher:''});</script> http://www.hcpl.net/content/everything-you-want-and-nothing-you-dont#comments digital media catalog ebooks Overdrive Tue, 29 Apr 2014 18:42:38 +0000 David Cherry 15757 at http://www.hcpl.net
