Yay! Yippee! A Thing that I already have a user name and password for and some experience, too! Woo-hoo! I like it when something goes more smoothly than I expected.
I have used Netlibrary several times. Because I sometimes work in the branches and the infodesks, I wanted to try out the Netlibrary so I could better understand the patron experience. Of course, I am also a patron and have found that Netlibrary has made time spent painting my deck, travelling in the car or washing windows (now, don't go supposing that I do a lot of any of those...) go much more quickly (I like the e-audiobooks). I have downloaded fiction and non-fiction titles, and have recommended this library service to many dog-walking acquaintances. I am now exploring e-books and the WPL e-reader, and look forward to someday soon exploring the iPad. If libraries are going to be investing in these trends, I want to be knowledgeable and helpful. It's great that it is also entertaining and informative for me.
The only downside is that there are far more non-fiction titles than fiction. Great for researching from the comfort of your own home in the middle of the night, but not quite so satisfying from an entertainment point of view.
