Exciting news! The Wisconsin Digital Library website is getting a new look on April 16! The main page will have a much cleaner appearance and the search choices along the left side will be simpler.

At the same time the WPLC board approved a new name:
Wisconsin’s Digital Library
The URL will remain the same, but many of you will need to update your webpages with the new name. My apologies for not getting this information out sooner.

This is just a reminder, since it’s a very common situation – when a patron gets a new library card/number, their holds on OverDrive/Wisconsin Digital Library will NOT automatically transfer to the new card.  We must notify OverDrive to merge the accounts and move the holds over. They do it quickly, no fuss, no muss, but it’s still manual at this point. If they don’t have holds, it shouldn’t cause any problems to simply start using the new card without dealing with the old one.

At OverDrive, they’re thinking ahead. September is a way’s away, and most of us are just beginning to imagine summer again. But for library staff, the end of summer brings Training Month, an educational and fun program to increase staff knowledge and help maximize circulation of your OverDrive Virtual Branch.
