Comments for Wisconsin Public Library Consortium http://www.wplc.info Mon, 04 Mar 2013 16:01:39 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 Comment on For Patrons by Mark Beatty http://www.wplc.info/about/welcome/comment-page-1/#comment-67190 Mark Beatty Mon, 04 Mar 2013 16:01:39 +0000 http://www.wplc.info/?page_id=753#comment-67190 The very best way to add your ideas to the selection process is to talk with your local library. All the public libraries in Wisconsin have a say as to the content in the collection. Please keep in mind that there is much content we do not have access to because the publishers will not make them available in any non-book formats, including audiobooks. One irony is that there are many titles, especially current popular titles, that are ONLY available as an audiobook and there is not an ebook version. You can recommend titles for purchase by going to the Wisconsin Digital Library web site. Browse for title categories that interest you. Use the Additional Titles link in the upper right. When you find the a title you can of course check it out, or place a hold. If the title is available from OverDrive and we do not current own it, then you'll be able to place a recommendation. You may do up to 3 of these per month. If you want to recommend more titles than that, please submit them to your local library. If you do not find the title using the above process then it is not available on OverDrive at all, regardless of whether we have purchased it for Wisconsin or not. Thanks for asking.
