It was so easy to set up my Zinio accounts!
Palmer, MA (PRWEB) November 22, 2013
Palmer Public Library (Palmer, MA), in partnership with RBdigital Recorded Books (Prince Frederick, MD), is pleased to announce the availability of Zinio for Libraries. Awarded Best New Database of 2012 by Library Journal, Zinio is the world’s largest newsstand, offering multi-user access to popular publications.
Through the library’s website, patrons of Palmer Public Library have unlimited multi-user access to complete digital magazines, which can easily be viewed on most Internet-enabled devices inside or outside of the library. Zinio’s unique technology digitally recreates a magazine page for page, including full color pictures, intuitive navigation, key word article search and interactive elements such as audio and video. “Family Handyman,” “Martha Stewart Living,” “O, The Oprah Magazine,” “Popular Science” and “Seventeen” are just a few of the popular titles that are available.
“It was so easy to set up my Zinio accounts,” said Dorene Miller, Palmer Public Library Director. “In less than 30 seconds, I had typed in my information, checked out Mental Floss, and started reading an article about the use of suffixes in creating new words. Patrons are already enjoying the benefits of our Zinio collection, and the library is very pleased to bring this new technology to the Town of Palmer!”
