Starting on Monday, November 2, the WPLC OverDrive collection will include a new format and some new features.
eBooks
The initial WPLC collection of eBooks contains over 200 titles. New links on the left navigation pane will help users find these titles in the collection. Two formats will be included, Adobe EPUB and Adobe PDF (Digital Editions). To learn more about these formats and how to use them, please follow the link "Learn more" in the introductory paragraphs at the top of the WPLC OverDrive website, where you will find a lot of helpful information. (The new help pages will be available beginning on Monday.)
Star-rating
Starting on Nov. 2nd, users will be able to rate a title. Once signed in, users will be able to rate titles on a scale of 1-5 stars. If a user has previously rated titles, the user can review and, if desired, change or remove these ratings at a new 'My Ratings'
page. Average ratings are displayed to all users.
Share via Social Networking
Starting on Nov. 2nd, in addition to the existing option of sharing information on a title with a friend via e-mail, users will also be able to share information on a title via Facebook and Twitter.

Ordering Wisconsin Tax Forms
New Procedures for 2009
The department has implemented a new e-mail application for libraries to use in placing orders for 2009 Wisconsin tax forms. This new application is easier to use and offers a better process for monitoring library orders and tracking shipments. Although some libraries may have already placed their order for 2009 Wisconsin tax forms using the online ordering system, you must now resubmit your order using this e-mail application.
We Need Your Help!
Last year Wisconsin libraries ordered approximately 1.6 million tax forms and instructions (1 million forms + 600,000 instruction booklets). Based on the unique barcode assigned to forms provided to libraries, the department was able to determine that less than 75,000 of the 1 million forms were actually filed with the department. We know that some of the forms that were not submitted to the department are used for draft versions or kept as a copy, but certainly not all 925,000.
Help us reduce the number of forms that are being wasted. While we want to continue to provide forms to taxpayers who need them, we must reduce the waste associated with forms that are not being used. We urge you to order fewer forms this year!
More E-filing - Less Paper
More than 71% of Wisconsin taxpayers filed their income tax returns electronically. Last year the department introduced a new e-file application called Wisconsin e-file. This application is Free, Secure, and Accurate. Plus, refunds are available within 5 business days.
We encourage you to refer your customers to this free application. Wisconsin e-file is available from the department's web site at http://www.revenue.wi.gov/.
In addition, all Wisconsin tax forms are available online at http://www.revenue.wi.gov/html/formpub.html.
How to Order Forms
Step 1 Open the attachment below (Form P-744L, Library Tax Form Request) and fill in your name, address, and contact information.
Step 2 Fill in requested quantities.
Step 3 Save completed form to your computer.
Step 4 E-mail the completed request form (as an attachment) to DorLibraryFormsOrders@revenue.wi.gov
Please submit your order by November 13th.
We thank you for your time and effort in providing assistance to Wisconsin taxpayers. If you have any questions or need assistance with placing your order, feel free to contact Laurie Yahr at (608) 261-5106 or e-mail at laurie.yahr@revenue.wi.gov.
