Thanks to Dauphin County Library System for purchasing ebook content to add to the Capital Area Library District Digital Media site.

Now, in addition to downloadable audiobooks to listen to, customers can also download ebooks to read on computers, netbooks, tablets, ipads or some of the popular ebook readers like Nooks and Sony Reader. (Sorry, not for Kindles at this time.)

Here are some quick highlights:
-Customers are encouraged to checkout and download and use audiobooks and ebooks on their home computers.
-To use the system, customers also have to download something (OverDrive Media Console, Adobe Digital Editions for books, or a device specific application) that helps with the digital licensing and transferring to portable devices.
-Customers are limited to 3 items checked out per library barcode at a time.
-Customers can pick their loan period for the items from 7 days or 14 days.
-If customers have questions or problems, listen to their concerns, but let them know that we may not have exact answers. First direct them to the help documents on the left hand side of the digital media site. If they don’t find help there, use the “Suggestion Box” link to send a support request directly to someone who might be able to help or feel free to have them email or call the district consultant directly.

In the time period of 12/17/2010 to right now at this moment of posting on 12/22/2010, 85 items in epub format have been checked out from our collection.

Ask if you have questions!

Library Technical Assistant Degree

Posted in Events - Training on December 22, 2010 by Nancy

Did you know that there is only one program in Pennsylvania that offers a specialized diploma for Library Technical Assistants? If you or your staff is in need of training in order to move up in your library, an LTA degree would help you get there!

Northampton Community College, in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, offers an LTA degree after completion of 15 credit hours of library studies. This program is only offered online, so it does not matter where you live or work! You may need to visit a local library (public or academic) to use their resources in order to complete assignments.

Courses cover the history of libraries, their function in society, computers and technology, technical services, reference resources, children’s and young adult literature, and management. All of the courses are taught by librarians who currently work or have worked in the field.

Visit our program page for more information: Library-Technical-Assistant.htm
For application information, visit this page: Apply-Online.htm

Contact NCC Library Director Sandra Sander at ssander@northampton.edu for more information. It’s not too late to register for our spring semester, which begins on January 18, 2011.
