[nabs-l] overdrive and public library access

[Sophie Trist via nabs-l]

I am the VI population in my hometown, so my library's computers 
aren't accessible. I have played with the Overdrive app on the 
iPhone, and my reaction to it is iffy. Thing is, the app is 
updated often. Some updates are more accessible than others. The 
fun part is that I have a friend who works at the library, so I 
give her feedback on accessibility or lack thereof. When the 
overdrive app works, I've found it very useful and enjoyable. The 
auidobooks are divided into sections, not exactly by chapter. 
They don't have a massive selection, but hey, free audiobooks are 
free audiobooks.

Hi all,

Well, I have a library card and may soon find out what I can use.

It seems to me we get minimal access at university libraries; 
like only  one pc with jaws and most databases are not real 
accessible.
But, at public libraries, we cannot even use the pcs.

This has bothered me for some time as an active citizen
