Recommend eBooks to the Library with Overdrive

It is #followalibrary day @EasternRegional on Twitter - and to celebrate Eastern Regional Library is rolling out a new feature on the Overdrive eBook Collection that allows people to recommend eBooks and eAudio books to the library.

Yes - you read that correctly! If there is something we don't have, you can search for it in the "Additional Titles" collection. Here you can choose the item you think we should add to the library and click the blue "Recommend" button. Ta Da!! It is that easy.

It gets even better - when you make a recommendation, Overdrive will also give you the option of being notified if we buy the item and can also automatically place you on the reservation list to borrow when it comes in. People will be able to recommend up to 5 items per day.

So, get in there and have your say about what you would like us to have in the Overdrive eLibrary Collection and tweet us @EasternRegional what you recommended!!

Writing catalogue reviews just got easier with Facebook and Twitter logins

ChiliFresh have just added Facebook and Twitter integration into it's reviewing system. This means when you click on Write a review on a record in our catalogue you can click the Login with Facebook or Sign in with Twitter buttons and use these existing social networks.

You will need to login to your account and with Twitter you need to authorise the application however the application will not be able to:

• Access your direct messages.
• See your Twitter password.

Give it a test drive and let me know if you have any issues via out contact form or on Twitter.

ERL on Twitter

Eastern Regional Libraries has joined the masses on Twitter. Why you may ask? Well sometimes we need to let our members know about an activity or about a temporary branch closure etc. While we can reach some people with the website and others with the blog, social networks are a great way to keep in touch with you. So hence starts the Twitter experiment.

You can find & follow us at http://twitter.com/EasternRegional

We're still waiting to be indexed so people can find us with the Find People search.

Cheers, Maryanne
