Dixon Public Library Launches eAudiobook, eBook Service and Digital Magazine Service
Dixon, IL (PRWEB) October 11, 2013 -- Dixon Public Library (Dixon, IL) has partnered with RBdigital from Recorded Books (Prince Frederick, MD) to deliver two new electronic resources: Zinio for Libraries and OneClickdigital. Zinio for Libraries, awarded Best New Database of 2012 by Library Journal, is billed as the world’s largest newsstand, offering multi-user access to popular publications. OneClickdigital is an online service that allows patrons to check out eAudiobooks and eBooks, including bestsellers, Recorded Books exclusives, classics and selections for children and young adults.
OneClickdigital provides patrons at Dixon Public Library free access to eAudio and eBooks at home, in the library, or anywhere with Internet access. Many titles are multi-access, so multiple users can check out a given title at the same time, eliminating holds. OneClickdigital is compatible with all popular listening devices, and mobile apps are available for the iPhone, Android, and Kindle Fire. OneClickdigital features an easy-to-use interface with streamlined navigation, fast downloads and automatic software updates. Live toll-free technical support is available at 1-877-77AUDIO.
Patrons of Dixon Public Library may now also visit the library’s website for unlimited simultaneous access to complete digital magazines. Zinio features complete, full-color, page-for-page magazines with intuitive navigation, key-word article search and interactive elements such as audio and video. Periodicals can be viewed on most Internet-enabled devices inside or outside of the library. National Geographic, Newsweek, O, The Oprah Magazine, Rolling Stone, and Seventeen are just a few of the popular titles that are available.
“I stopped subscribing to magazines years ago because after I was through reading them, they just became clutter,” said Shelly Franz, Dixon Public Library staff member. “My library’s subscription to Zinio changed all that. Not only do I utilize the library’s collection, but I’ve subscribed to more on my own! Now I can still enjoy my favorite magazines, but instead of becoming clutter, they are still useful and easy to access.”
