EBooks & Hoopla
Presented by Jose

Today we created  a Hoopla account and also placed e-books on hold with Overdrive 

All what we needed was a library card and also a valid email address
we were able to check out a Music CD for 7 days
Things have changed for good with Overdrive and Hoopla 
Hoopla
https://www.hoopladigital.com/home 
Before we were able to check out only 4 items a month now its 8 items (Movies, music, audio books and tv series) 
Overdrive 
http://hadc.lib.overdrive.com/02B86BB2-2C60-4C36-9EEB-87859EEBB603/10/50/en/Default.htm
Before only "5 at a time" now you can a check out a maximum of "10 items at a time"
all what you need with overdrive:

1. a library card
2. an email to get notifications for books on hold 
3. download the app if you have a tablet or smartphone (you still can read book thru the browser if you don't have a tablet or don't have access to one)

Quick Notes

• Don’t forget to mark directional and reference questions answered on the stats sheet at each desk.  No marks=no more staff.
• Clean up your dishes in the break room sink.  Teamwork is cleaning up after yourself so your team members don’t have to.
• Check in Drive-Up holds correctly.  Customers will not be notified if the items are not checked in.
• After checking in holds from the paging list, mark the ones you didn’t find “missing” so your coworkers don’t have to keep looking for them.
• Shelve Delivery items that have been checked in by the end of the day or the end of your shift, so customers and coworkers can find them.
• Fill out “Out of Order” signs completely so the rest of us know what’s going on.
