HOW TO VIEW ALL THE EBOOKS OR ALL THE KINDLE EBOOKS





 This tip comes from Brian K:
"On the Overdrive Digital catalog site on the left hand side under "FEATURED COLLECTIONS" there is a link to "VIEW ALL EPUB BOOKS". Click on the link. The search results will show all the ebooks in our collection. Everything we buy is epub so that will show all our current titles.
You can then sort this list by "date added to site" and the most recently added ebooks will appear at the top of the list.
If they are interested in only Kindle versions, you can click of "VIEW ALL KINDLE BOOKS". But that will be a smaller number since not every e-book is available for Kindles."


Ebooks appear in the ebook catalog (http://sppl.lib.overdrive.com/ )  sooner than  the Aquabrowser (http://aquabrowser.sppl.org/ ) or classic (http://alpha.stpaul.lib.mn.us/) catalog, so tell patrons to check the ebook catalog for the latest totals. For example, searching subject "downloadable ebooks" in the classic catalog gives us 2904 hits, but clicking on "view all epub books" in the ebook catalog gives us a whopping 4740! And don't forget, new titles are added every week.
