Library
The Ottumwa Public Library is pleased to announce a new digital magazine service is now available to our patrons called Zinio. Zinio, in partnership with Recorded Books (RB Digital) provides full, cover-to-cover, issues of digital magazines. Patrons will see the same content as the print issues plus some titles include video and audio links as well.
Patrons will be able to view any or all of the 81 magazines the library is currently offering online or download them to their PCs, Macs, or mobile devices. All magazines come with simultaneous access which means if everyone in town wanted to read the current issue of Consumer Reports at the same time, they could (no waiting for any magazines). What?s more, magazines from Zinio will have no due dates. As long as the library maintains a subscription to a magazine, patrons will be free to read them on their electronic device.
A handy guide to getting set up is available at http://bit.ly/oplzinio
Go to http://bit.ly/mags2013 to see a full list of titles available as of January 2013.
