Collection development

Today, we wanted to say a huge thank you and share an update with the many youth services staff members who participated in the YS-focused survey that WPLC project managers shared in February. The response was fantastic, with 231 people filling out responses and representation from every library system around Wisconsin. 

How will the survey responses be used?

Here are some tangible action items you can expect to see as a result of the information shared through the youth services staff survey:

As previously announced, the USB side-loading requirement for Penguin eBooks on Kindle devices has been lifted. Today, we are pleased to inform our partners and end-users that direct downloads of Penguin eBooks in Kindle format for U.S. library accounts are now standard. This means that these titles will have the same ease of use as all other publishers’ eBooks, without the need for USB loading.

The Wisconsin Public Library Consortium will be participating in the Big Library Read project that OverDrive is hosting.  The following link will take you to all the details of the project.
