FollettShelf Comes to the Virtual LMC

We'd like to announce the addition of a new service to our MtSentLMC: FollettShelf ebooks!
Now you can search our L4U database for ebooks, and sign out ebooks to read online, just like you would with the BC Library Without Walls service (you need a Nelson Public Library card for this--free for area H residents). The difference is that the MTSent LMC has the rights to the book, and they are part of our database. Log in to our own Follett bookshelf, and use your regular SD8 computer log on. Drag a book to your list, then read it online, or download it (you will need to download some software, but that takes only a minute).
If you sign out a book online, you have the option of having it read to you. FollettShelf allows you to take notes on the book, and these are saved next time you sign it out. For some books, you can even print off a page, such as for non-fiction or reference. The books stay on your digital device for 5 days, then are removed automatically.

See Ms. Malloff in person for more information.
