Tuesday Night Webinar

[Patty McClune]

Lots of great information was shared! Thanks Will and Kathy. I've cataloged our Kindles as equipment and added titles and authors on the MARC record so they can be searched that way, but I love the idea of adding information in the 530 tag of the books to alert patrons that the title is also available in eReader format. The more access points the better!

I like the cross referencing idea too.

Hi Patty!
Glad to hear you were able to come away with some useful information from the Tuesday Night Webinar! I basically was looking in the MARC records to see where it might be possible to add it.

Thanks!
Kathy

I took part in the webinar as well---and loved all the good information. Our middle school is just beginning to look into ereaders, and although I have my own Kindle, I really want more information, especially about the Nook, before we start. Any information you all could give me would be greatly appreciated!! I like the fact that the Nook will download books from our public library. But I need more to know more----I would like to use Kindles!

I finally got the chat transcript done and attached it here. Sorry that I didn't push the record button so that we could get the whole webinar with Kathy's great information. There is a lot of good stuff in this chat, though. I promise to do better next time!
