Week #9.2: Ebooks!

When HCPL notified employees of their Emedia launch, I took a peek to see what it offered. I was not too impressed with their collection but now that it has been a few months (maybe several), I see that it has grown immensely.
I would still like to see more variety with their "indie" music but I assume most musicians do not go that route. I browsed in the fiction and there is a title I would consider reading, Miss Understanding, which is one of the featured books. I am also happy to see that F.G. Gerson's 21 Steps to Happiness is available for download. When that book came out, I ordered it through ILL (from HPL, not HCPL). I was unable to read it and now that HCPL offers it, I can download it! I also think it is a good idea to include juvenile selections as well.
I do have a few suggestions about the site. I think users should be able to search by publisher (I am quite partial to Red Dress Ink) and users should be able to select how many items can be viewed per page (10,50,100).
Have downloadable books will make it easier for me to broaden the subjects I have read. I don't really care for audio books seeing that I find it hard to do my work and listen to what the speaker is actually saying. Maybe I haven't tried the right books...

I NEED MORE!!!

This is great! I get to learn different functions online AND get paid. I also attended the Gadgets and Gizmos earlier in the week and now listen to Pandora regularly.
I learn best when I am able to navigate myself through the tutorials. This method of learning (online, self-paced) works pretty well with my schedule and I prefer working alone. If I really need to, I can still ask for help by submitting my queries and there is also another participant in my department so I am not so alone.
I am looking forward to uploading photos and personalizing my blog!
