New format, features available on OverDrive starting November 2, 2009

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.
