Week 9: #22 Downloadable Media



I have always wanted to try out and explore Overdrive but never really got around to it. I am a person who likes to read books not listen to them. I tend to get distracted when I have to listen to something being read to me. I like to go at my own pace, and sometimes like to reread things just so my mental image is perfect. This is why I usually prefer reading the book rather than seeing the movie of some titles. But I did take a look around our site and I found it to be pretty user friendly. Titles were easy to search, but unfortunately the one I actually looked for was not available in that format... shame isn't it. Oh well.
One thing I did like was the "Burn to CD allowed icon", alot of users would like to have their own copy of certain materials and that icon lets them know whether or not they have that option. I also like the navigation bar on the left of the webpage, breaking down the media into different genres really narrow down searches faster.
