Tech Changes @ Dover PL

We have been making some changes around the Library. First, to our online catalog and the search boxes in particular. We changed the boxes from Author, Title, Topic to Keywords, Title, Author. Now you can enter more than one keyword e.g. dragon girl and it will “and” them together giving you fewer and better results. This change will also make the Library Anywhere app work better by making the default search Keywords.

You now can search NH Downloadable Books from our mobile Library Anywhere app.
Go to our webpage on your phone (or this works from any browser, too) and choose “Mobile Library Catalog” (the second half of the 3rd line).  This takes you to search our catalog.  Search for something and it will show you what we have available in the library.  Up near the top of the screen there will be a bar that says “Search “???” in eBooks – Audiobooks”, but the ??? will be whatever you searched for in our catalog.  Choose that bar and it will perform your search in Overdrive.  This will show you if the book you searched for is available and what formats it is in.  If you choose one of the titles you can add it to your cart and it seamlessly transfers you to the Overdrive site to finish your transaction.
When you are searching eBooks – Audiobooks, there are buttons near the top of the app that will allow you to redo the search in our catalog or to go to the main catalog page (the one you get to when you choose “Mobile Library Catalog” from our webpage.  So you can toggle back and forth between our catalog and Overdrive.
 
We have also added Microsoft Office 2010 and Open Office to all of our public PCs so you have a choice. And for Novelist fans, you may now search our catalog from within Novelist. We love that!
