I picked a video that showed it's patrons how to use the Overdrive program. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vx7kFLGKwx8
I liked how the presenter talked patrons through signing up/logging in and how to check out the books. A really good feature that was used is a pen to draw circles around what she was talking about so it was easier to understand what she was trying to convey. The presenter also showed how to check out different versions of the Ebooks they offer. Walking patrons through step by step is a great way to teach them how to use Overdrive.
I watched Diane's youtube video choice-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j32h-h27lgA which showed some activities a library does for it's young patrons. It was interesting to see some different things the library did with it's story time. It wasn't a traditional story time, they did some singing and stretching first to get the kids involved.
Hey Pam- I also chose a video to show more information about Overdrive to my patrons--I agree that it is very helpful that the speakers draw circles around the items they are explaining. These videos are very user-friendly, and helpful to boot!
ReplyDeleteIt seems that's what a lot of our patrons have questions about so it's great to have another tool to help them to learn how to use Overdrive. :)
