00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.210
Karen McElfresh: Before I get too far ahead of myself.

2
00:00:03.400 --> 00:00:29.269
Karen McElfresh: Okay, so we should be recording now, you might have gotten a pop up about recording. So you can dismiss that if you want. So Hello, everybody. Thank you for joining us for our Boundless app overview training. This is the 1st of our series of trainings about our new app for the E-Read Texas program you might already know me. I am Karen McElfresh. I am the program coordinator for the E-Read Texas program, and I work at the Texas State Library and Archives Commission

3
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:45.670
Karen McElfresh: with me today is Jesse Wilson, and if you don't know Jesse yet you will, because Jesse is our point person at Baker and Taylor for the E-Read Texas program, so she'll be working with us, moving forward and helping us get everybody live and trained, and all that kind of stuff.

4
00:00:46.510 --> 00:00:54.390
Karen McElfresh: If you want a copy of the slides, let me put those that link in the chat for you. And also we'll show it again in just a second.

5
00:00:55.670 --> 00:01:19.020
Karen McElfresh: We are using Zoom today, and if you want to enable captions they're available to you. There's an automated transcript going so you should see a button at the bottom of your screen with the 2 C's. It says, show captions so you can click that, and you should start seeing those captions scrolling for you. Your your screen might look a little different from this screenshot, but you should have that CC. Button

6
00:01:19.220 --> 00:01:33.030
Karen McElfresh: right next to it is the QA. Button, and that is how we are going to handle questions for this session. So if you have a question that you would like either me or Jesse to answer during the session, please submit it in the QA. Panel.

7
00:01:33.060 --> 00:01:41.070
Karen McElfresh: we'll keep chat for more informal things or comments, but anything you would like us to address in the session. Please, put in the Q. And a panel.

8
00:01:42.740 --> 00:01:53.939
Karen McElfresh: and once again, the slides are available, as are all the dates and information about the training sessions. Here is the link that is on the slide for the training page

9
00:01:55.850 --> 00:02:15.780
Karen McElfresh: our session today, or actually, before we get into the session today, I want to remind you of the migration timeline. This is what I showed right in at the very beginning, when I 1st announced this change over to Boundless back in May, if you can remember that far back and we are here in August. We are right on time with our 1st library training.

10
00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:17.320
Karen McElfresh: So

11
00:02:17.864 --> 00:02:29.920
Karen McElfresh: we are still looking at. Next month we will be doing the advanced training or the Admin training. There's a basic session and an advanced session. You will also get your Boundless site information next month.

12
00:02:29.990 --> 00:02:46.709
Karen McElfresh: The dates are going to be middle of the month, you'll get information about your site. So for today's training, you'll see how to log in. But and you might actually see that your site is there. If you open the Boundless app. I know some of you are already in there, kind of tinkering with things.

13
00:02:46.750 --> 00:03:02.277
Karen McElfresh: You might see that your site is ready. You might not. Not. Everybody's site is ready yet, so you don't need to let us know there's nothing wrong. If you don't see your site, or maybe you see your site and you can't sign into it. That's okay. We're not quite there yet. So nothing's wrong.

14
00:03:03.610 --> 00:03:12.309
Karen McElfresh: And then we are still going to be going. Live on October one. So we're right on schedule. Kind of a miracle that everything is going to to plan.

15
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:19.349
Karen McElfresh: And then here is that link to the migration page, if you have any, if you want to look at any of the other information that's available.

16
00:03:20.430 --> 00:03:26.640
Karen McElfresh: Okay? So for today's session, Jesse is going to be taking you through the session. One note about those slides.

17
00:03:26.948 --> 00:03:41.359
Karen McElfresh: There probably won't be that helpful for today because Jesse is going to do a live demo for you, and the slides contain screenshots, but they will be a very wonderful resource for you to look back at later. So do do download those if you get a chance.

18
00:03:41.990 --> 00:03:46.580
Karen McElfresh: But today's session we're going to. Jesse is going to show you how to download the app and sign in.

19
00:03:46.770 --> 00:03:51.290
Karen McElfresh: She will talk about setting up accounts and profile your account and your profiles.

20
00:03:51.610 --> 00:04:10.690
Karen McElfresh: how to search for books, how to download those books, open them, listen to them also how to join programs, and then a way to submit problems or feedback suggestions. And then we will hold questions to the end, but go ahead and submit them in that Q&A panel as you have them, and and we will get to them at the end of the session.

21
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:14.579
Karen McElfresh: So with that, Jesse, I will turn it over to you.

22
00:04:15.050 --> 00:04:19.729
Jesse Wilson: Awesome. Thank you so much, Karen, so let me go ahead and

23
00:04:19.970 --> 00:04:23.399
Jesse Wilson: give me a moment to share my screen.

24
00:04:24.330 --> 00:04:32.639
Karen McElfresh: Oh, wait! I wanted to say one more thing while you're doing it. So the other thing is that so Boundless has a lot more features than SimplyEdid.

25
00:04:32.740 --> 00:04:57.029
Karen McElfresh: So a lot of you are really excited about that. I'm really excited about a lot of what's available, but it may feel a little overwhelming today, just having so many things coming at you. And and if that's okay, you know, you may not use every feature. It may not be useful to your library, or also, this is not the only time we're going to talk about this. You don't have to master everything in today's 1 h session. So just try to

26
00:04:57.220 --> 00:05:03.920
Karen McElfresh: absorb what you can and make note of any questions that you have, and and we'll get you going on this. So, okay.

27
00:05:04.390 --> 00:05:05.540
Karen McElfresh: thanks. Jesse.

28
00:05:05.880 --> 00:05:17.959
Jesse Wilson: Absolutely so. Hello, everyone. I am Jesse Wilson. I am your digital customer success manager with Baker and Taylor, and I'm getting a little bit of feedback. Here, hold on!

29
00:05:18.650 --> 00:05:24.229
Jesse Wilson: Turn my volume all the way as far down as I can on my phone. And that should help with that.

30
00:05:24.290 --> 00:05:29.670
Jesse Wilson: So I am located in Florida. So I'm coming at you from the same sort of

31
00:05:29.820 --> 00:05:53.149
Jesse Wilson: tropical environment that you guys are dealing with right now. So it's great to meet everybody there in Texas. So I am going to be your point person, for, Boundless as Karen mentioned, I just want to reiterate, please feel free to ask as many questions as you want. Put them in the QAI will get to them at the end of this presentation. Boundless is

32
00:05:53.440 --> 00:05:55.050
Jesse Wilson: our wonderful

33
00:05:55.440 --> 00:06:00.990
Jesse Wilson: application that's going to basically introduce everybody to E content.

34
00:06:01.430 --> 00:06:09.089
Jesse Wilson: What you guys have been using already. This is what's going to house the full T select collection or your collections for a couple of you

35
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:30.870
Jesse Wilson: when you're ready to start using Boundless. You're going to go into your application store. So, for example, for me, I am using a apple phone today, and I would go into my app store and look for the blue B, or in actually, the actual app icon is blue with a

36
00:06:30.870 --> 00:06:47.449
Jesse Wilson: white. Be in it. So you're looking for that Boundless by Beckier and Taylor. If you're on an android phone. Same thing. Anything that you can use to download an app on. You can use the Boundless application. So, for example.

37
00:06:48.183 --> 00:06:50.916
Jesse Wilson: kindle fires, ipads, tablets,

38
00:06:52.050 --> 00:07:02.240
Jesse Wilson: cell phones. Also, we do have a web based interface as well that you will see used mainly when we go over the admin areas.

39
00:07:02.554 --> 00:07:09.550
Jesse Wilson: So we will see more of that in the next couple of trainings. I'm going to be mainly focusing on the app today.

40
00:07:10.790 --> 00:07:12.619
Jesse Wilson: When you download your item.

41
00:07:13.700 --> 00:07:20.130
Jesse Wilson: you're going to go in here, and it's going to ask you to put in your library's name or city.

42
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:38.750
Jesse Wilson: So for your patrons what they're going to want to do is use your overarching libraries information. So, for example, I know I got a couple of people on here from Bryan College Station, so, for example, you have Larry J. Ringer Library

43
00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:43.650
Jesse Wilson: is your branch library in that group.

44
00:07:43.980 --> 00:07:57.629
Jesse Wilson: Don't look up the branch name. They're going to want to look up Brian college station, public library system. You can also use a city. So, for example, I can go in here and say.

45
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:06.370
Jesse Wilson: Brian, and if you notice it goes down, and it tries to guess at what you're looking for.

46
00:08:06.390 --> 00:08:08.029
Jesse Wilson: so I can do that.

47
00:08:08.458 --> 00:08:10.000
Jesse Wilson: I can look up like

48
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:13.899
Jesse Wilson: Houston is trying to guess

49
00:08:14.380 --> 00:08:16.700
Jesse Wilson: what the name is there.

50
00:08:17.230 --> 00:08:24.390
Jesse Wilson: So just to give you that as an example of searching there today, though, we are going to use the

51
00:08:24.490 --> 00:08:28.420
Jesse Wilson: staff account that I have. So I'm gonna go

52
00:08:29.200 --> 00:08:32.630
Jesse Wilson: into the account that I have here.

53
00:08:32.710 --> 00:08:37.690
Jesse Wilson: When you find your location, it's going to have your address on there.

54
00:08:37.730 --> 00:08:54.419
Jesse Wilson: And one of the things when you sent in your implementation forms that address information is what we're going by. If when you start using the application that. You don't see that information is correct. Please feel free to reach out to us, and we'll be happy to update it. Information for you.

55
00:08:55.240 --> 00:09:00.759
Jesse Wilson: Someone tap on T slack, and it's going to bring me to my card number and PIN area.

56
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:02.480
Jesse Wilson: With this.

57
00:09:02.540 --> 00:09:21.019
Jesse Wilson: Your patrons are going to log in, based on whatever their library information is, they do not have to create a new username or password using their card number, or whatever they use to use in your library. To check out books is the same thing on the application. In this case I'm going to put in my number.

58
00:09:23.050 --> 00:09:26.689
Jesse Wilson: and it'll just take me a minute, because it's a long number.

59
00:09:34.150 --> 00:09:36.390
Jesse Wilson: and then if they have a PIN,

60
00:09:36.450 --> 00:09:38.829
Jesse Wilson: you can put that in there

61
00:09:43.190 --> 00:09:44.150
Jesse Wilson: right.

62
00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:54.100
Jesse Wilson: and then I can click sign in.

63
00:09:54.490 --> 00:10:03.940
Jesse Wilson: They would only need to really do this once every 45 days. So after 45 days, it will ask you to log back into your application

64
00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:07.970
Jesse Wilson: just to make sure you're still you. As you're going through this.

65
00:10:08.210 --> 00:10:15.380
Jesse Wilson: When you get to this 1st page, you might see a pop-up come up and ask you to put together your profile.

66
00:10:15.390 --> 00:10:27.320
Jesse Wilson: and that is a new feature in Boundless that a lot of you might not know about profiles. We have it set up to where the default is. You have 3 of them on there.

67
00:10:27.660 --> 00:10:35.570
Jesse Wilson: the 1st one, and the one that we're going to be mainly using, and that you'll probably mainly use in your system is the general profile.

68
00:10:35.660 --> 00:10:40.289
Jesse Wilson: This one allows you to see everything in the collection.

69
00:10:40.700 --> 00:10:54.079
Jesse Wilson: You can also add profiles based on age groups. So, for example, you can have a team profile that shows information for items that are 18 and under.

70
00:10:54.260 --> 00:10:58.659
Jesse Wilson: or a kit profile that shows items that are age 11 and under.

71
00:10:58.700 --> 00:11:11.109
Jesse Wilson: And that scoping that happens that way is due to what the publishers send us. So, for example, if a big name book is rated for 11, and under

72
00:11:11.210 --> 00:11:19.960
Jesse Wilson: that would be underneath the teen and the kid, and everybody can see it, of course, in the general but if it's a James Patterson book. That is an adult book.

73
00:11:20.380 --> 00:11:23.190
Jesse Wilson: Only the general account would see that.

74
00:11:23.890 --> 00:11:28.399
Jesse Wilson: But today we're going to focus mainly on a general account.

75
00:11:28.760 --> 00:11:36.920
Jesse Wilson: So I've already set up my account here. But I'm going to show you how I did that underneath my manage profiles area, where I tap on that.

76
00:11:37.990 --> 00:11:40.890
Jesse Wilson: and then I go underneath my profile.

77
00:11:40.940 --> 00:11:46.469
Jesse Wilson: So the 1st thing you see is me with my wonderful dog Basil. He

78
00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:51.149
Jesse Wilson: got to be the picture person this time it goes between him and my other dog, Naya.

79
00:11:51.320 --> 00:12:02.060
Jesse Wilson: but I tap on that little pencil there, and I have so many other avatars that I can create for myself, and each profile can have a specific avatar to it.

80
00:12:02.190 --> 00:12:08.139
Jesse Wilson: So you can choose one of our defaults, or you can take a photo or upload a photo.

81
00:12:08.390 --> 00:12:10.900
Jesse Wilson: And I just uploaded a basic photo there

82
00:12:11.370 --> 00:12:22.559
Jesse Wilson: display name. This is great. If you're going to share with family. And the way that this works is that if you decide to set up more than one profile you can have up to 5 profiles

83
00:12:22.610 --> 00:12:24.979
Jesse Wilson: per library card.

84
00:12:25.190 --> 00:12:29.059
Jesse Wilson: But you're going to share your library checkouts across that.

85
00:12:29.270 --> 00:12:33.300
Jesse Wilson: So in this case I have my display set up as

86
00:12:33.410 --> 00:12:42.919
Jesse Wilson: my name, Jesse. I know it's a general profile. The little star that you saw on my profile, and I'll show it to you again shows that I am the main account holder.

87
00:12:44.540 --> 00:12:51.970
Jesse Wilson: You definitely want to put in your email address so that you can get your notifications for holds

88
00:12:52.100 --> 00:12:56.850
Jesse Wilson: things that are about to expire on your account. You definitely want that in there.

89
00:12:57.950 --> 00:13:24.339
Jesse Wilson: underneath that you have your T slack staff information for your account. So it shows you what library you're in your card. Id. How many checkouts you have and how many holds you have in this case everyone will have 20 checkouts, and everyone will have 10 holds. Now those will be shared across profiles if you choose to add extra people on there.

90
00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:29.349
Jesse Wilson: So just take that in mind that if you have 5 profiles on this card.

91
00:13:29.460 --> 00:13:31.929
Jesse Wilson: only 4 books apiece

92
00:13:34.520 --> 00:13:36.190
Jesse Wilson: underneath, that

93
00:13:36.580 --> 00:13:40.199
Jesse Wilson: you have your customizations that you can do

94
00:13:41.470 --> 00:13:43.999
Jesse Wilson: up at the top. You can have email

95
00:13:44.070 --> 00:13:47.460
Jesse Wilson: notifications you can enable or disable those.

96
00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:59.420
Jesse Wilson: I always enable mine because I want to know when things are happening on my account. But if I don't understand what they're asking for, I could tap that little I, and it shows me, what is

97
00:13:59.570 --> 00:14:07.220
Jesse Wilson: this going to show me? So this case, I would see, notify me via email. Whenever a hold becomes available.

98
00:14:09.590 --> 00:14:19.649
Jesse Wilson: down below that you can show your checkout history. Not everybody wants to see that I love seeing my checkout history because it reminds me, what have I read already?

99
00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:25.249
Jesse Wilson: Display insights and badges. We're going to get into that more as we go through the application.

100
00:14:26.660 --> 00:14:53.309
Jesse Wilson: You can also set your my shelf as my homepage. I, personally, do not do that because I like seeing the library homepage first, st again, another form of customization that you have here, and then finally, you can add a PIN to the profile. So if you are sharing your device or your account with other people, you can put a PIN on those profiles.

101
00:14:53.340 --> 00:15:05.380
Jesse Wilson: and then you just get a little extra security there. So little Timmy doesn't go into Mom's adult account, for example. But you don't have to do that at all

102
00:15:06.190 --> 00:15:11.169
Jesse Wilson: when I'm done setting up my account, I click, save, and it is ready to go.

103
00:15:11.510 --> 00:15:18.510
Jesse Wilson: In that case I didn't actually update anything, so I didn't have to save anything. And I just x out of there.

104
00:15:19.380 --> 00:15:29.680
Jesse Wilson: When you open your app after you have set up your account, it will show you your profiles to get where you need to go. Just tap on your avatar.

105
00:15:31.330 --> 00:15:33.310
Jesse Wilson: and in my case

106
00:15:33.340 --> 00:15:37.050
Jesse Wilson: this is actually sending me to my library homepage.

107
00:15:37.070 --> 00:15:40.439
Jesse Wilson: If I had set my shelf as my

108
00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:44.250
Jesse Wilson: main page. It would go there.

109
00:15:44.280 --> 00:15:48.660
Jesse Wilson: But I'm going to go back to library for right now, and we'll come back to the my shelf area.

110
00:15:49.680 --> 00:15:57.050
Jesse Wilson: So on this site, starting at the top left, you have your avatar that you can tap and go between profiles.

111
00:15:59.420 --> 00:16:04.840
Jesse Wilson: The notification bell at the top, and it looks like I have 4 notifications.

112
00:16:05.080 --> 00:16:13.449
Jesse Wilson: I tap on that, and it lets me know any alerts, any type of information when it comes to all the stuff I'm doing inside of the app.

113
00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:18.229
Jesse Wilson: If I wanted to read something, just tap on it.

114
00:16:18.550 --> 00:16:21.199
Jesse Wilson: and it gives me my little information there.

115
00:16:21.820 --> 00:16:25.180
Jesse Wilson: and I can delete it. Keep it. What have you

116
00:16:26.760 --> 00:16:39.949
Jesse Wilson: close notifications there? Notifications is really great, because underneath the alerts area, especially if there's something going on like there's an outage, or there's something happening in the library system

117
00:16:40.250 --> 00:16:41.989
Jesse Wilson: that would pop up there.

118
00:16:42.110 --> 00:16:44.290
Jesse Wilson: So you would get that information.

119
00:16:45.537 --> 00:16:48.659
Jesse Wilson: App updates is another good one that you'll see

120
00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:56.109
Jesse Wilson: underneath that you have your search bar, and this is where you search for just like you do for any other catalog.

121
00:16:57.480 --> 00:17:05.060
Jesse Wilson: author, name, title, subject, Isbn. What have you? You can put that into the search content.

122
00:17:06.210 --> 00:17:14.190
Jesse Wilson: Under advanced search you could put your content information in here, and then narrow it down by various filters.

123
00:17:18.349 --> 00:17:21.510
Jesse Wilson: But what I like to do because I'm a browser.

124
00:17:21.540 --> 00:17:23.167
Jesse Wilson: When I browse

125
00:17:23.750 --> 00:17:35.209
Jesse Wilson: I don't normally look up specific author names or titles. Most likely I'm just gonna sort of browse through the collection and see what hits me. I'm a big subject browser as you're going to see.

126
00:17:35.360 --> 00:17:39.030
Jesse Wilson: But it's up to the patrons how they want to use this

127
00:17:39.260 --> 00:17:51.839
Jesse Wilson: underneath that you see the library page. And this is a page that you're going to be able to learn how to customize in some of our advanced training that we're going to do. And at the end of September.

128
00:17:52.100 --> 00:17:56.079
Jesse Wilson: so you can go in and create these featured lists

129
00:17:56.120 --> 00:18:06.289
Jesse Wilson: and lists are wonderful ways of just highlighting events. Or really popping the collection out and saying, Hey, here's some cool titles to read.

130
00:18:06.470 --> 00:18:14.439
Jesse Wilson: So, for example, I know I can go in here and see a nonfiction list, for example, and just swipe right.

131
00:18:15.560 --> 00:18:17.420
Jesse Wilson: left, right to left.

132
00:18:17.620 --> 00:18:22.169
Jesse Wilson: And here I have all of these wonderful nonfiction titles

133
00:18:22.600 --> 00:18:24.820
Jesse Wilson: here. That's just sort of popping out

134
00:18:27.300 --> 00:18:32.160
Jesse Wilson: at the top of the screen. You see the little earbuds. That's an audio book

135
00:18:32.750 --> 00:18:39.480
Jesse Wilson: underneath the nonfiction title. You see, the book that's opened that's going to be an ebook. There.

136
00:18:39.950 --> 00:18:51.130
Jesse Wilson: let's say, I want to just see what's available. So underneath availability, I can click on the menu and say, I only want to see what's available now.

137
00:18:51.970 --> 00:18:54.390
Jesse Wilson: and it will change the screen up.

138
00:18:55.120 --> 00:18:57.289
Jesse Wilson: and it might take a minute, because

139
00:18:57.450 --> 00:18:59.160
Jesse Wilson: I'm sharing my screen

140
00:18:59.510 --> 00:19:01.170
Jesse Wilson: under format.

141
00:19:01.330 --> 00:19:17.026
Jesse Wilson: I can tap there, and I can go in and say, I want to see E audio or ebook, video and video book is not available at this time unless you have the Boundless kids and teens package. So right now.

142
00:19:17.530 --> 00:19:32.130
Jesse Wilson: TSLAC only has the ebook and e audio options there. So if I only want to see e audio, I can tap on that, and it will then update the page to show me what's available now and what's an audio book?

143
00:19:32.310 --> 00:19:36.450
Jesse Wilson: And then I can just funnel through the featured list as well.

144
00:19:40.260 --> 00:19:42.849
Jesse Wilson: That is your main library page.

145
00:19:43.030 --> 00:19:45.819
Jesse Wilson: That's where you can start all your searching there.

146
00:19:46.230 --> 00:19:57.769
Jesse Wilson: If you're someone who actually sets your my shelf up as your main homepage. This is what you're going to be greeted with when you log in to your avatar and your profile.

147
00:19:58.200 --> 00:20:01.040
Jesse Wilson: So you have your basic search up at the top.

148
00:20:01.140 --> 00:20:20.329
Jesse Wilson: But then you have a bar that has checkouts, holds wish list. If I scroll to the left it shows my downloads and my checkout history as well. And if you notice, I have been doing this a couple of times, so I have 2 checkouts available, and I have 3 holds that I'm waiting on right now.

149
00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:30.470
Jesse Wilson: If I tap on that checkout it'll take me to the 2 checkouts that I have on hand and shows me when everything's due. We'll come back to that in a moment.

150
00:20:32.640 --> 00:20:34.449
Jesse Wilson: And then underneath that

151
00:20:34.490 --> 00:20:37.299
Jesse Wilson: I have my goals and insights.

152
00:20:37.980 --> 00:20:42.900
Jesse Wilson: and I really like having golden insights on my application because

153
00:20:42.930 --> 00:20:53.029
Jesse Wilson: it helps to sort of gamify my reading experience. So if you're someone who does like the good reads I'm going to read 100 books this year, let's say.

154
00:20:53.390 --> 00:20:58.189
Jesse Wilson: well, this does the same thing. You can go in here at the top and

155
00:20:58.250 --> 00:21:03.340
Jesse Wilson: actually track how many minutes you read listening. Your streaks.

156
00:21:03.620 --> 00:21:11.510
Jesse Wilson: Say, I want to read a hundred books for the year. I want to listen to. Let's tap on that.

157
00:21:11.540 --> 00:21:17.989
Jesse Wilson: I think I'm gonna listen to. I'm not really a huge E audiobook listener. So I'm gonna say, maybe one

158
00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:19.840
Jesse Wilson: per month

159
00:21:19.900 --> 00:21:24.660
Jesse Wilson: and just see if I can go from there. So I've updated my information there.

160
00:21:25.740 --> 00:21:28.940
Jesse Wilson: and it keeps track of everything within the app

161
00:21:29.730 --> 00:21:31.480
Jesse Wilson: underneath that

162
00:21:31.690 --> 00:21:34.400
Jesse Wilson: we have the badges

163
00:21:34.540 --> 00:21:38.960
Jesse Wilson: and badges. Give you little hurrahs as you go through

164
00:21:38.980 --> 00:21:52.150
Jesse Wilson: and do things in your application, such as programs checking out winning, reading streaks on here. All of that's going to be underneath there again, with goals and insights

165
00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:56.499
Jesse Wilson: as a user, you get to choose to turn that on and off in your profile.

166
00:21:56.540 --> 00:21:58.289
Jesse Wilson: I like keeping it on.

167
00:21:58.320 --> 00:22:00.890
Jesse Wilson: It's up to your patron what they want to do

168
00:22:02.840 --> 00:22:13.700
Jesse Wilson: underneath, that you have your currently checked out items where I can scroll to the left and go between the items that are checked out and then just tap on whatever I want to open.

169
00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:24.850
Jesse Wilson: And they also have some reading suggestions. And finally, your programs. And I'm gonna talk about programs towards the end of the training here.

170
00:22:25.550 --> 00:22:27.589
Jesse Wilson: So this is my my shelf

171
00:22:27.760 --> 00:22:33.190
Jesse Wilson: situation. And this is just a quick way to get to your items that you want to listen or read.

172
00:22:33.710 --> 00:22:34.950
Jesse Wilson: But for me

173
00:22:35.370 --> 00:22:39.500
Jesse Wilson: I want to find something to read. And yes, I know I have plenty checked out.

174
00:22:40.390 --> 00:22:44.100
Jesse Wilson: but I want more, because I have plenty more that I can find.

175
00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:46.759
Jesse Wilson: So at the bottom of the screen

176
00:22:46.770 --> 00:22:52.430
Jesse Wilson: your main menu options there, I'm going to tap on the browse, the eyeball there.

177
00:22:52.590 --> 00:22:57.709
Jesse Wilson: And it's going to show me basically, the entire collection of over 14,000 books.

178
00:22:58.240 --> 00:23:04.669
Jesse Wilson: I want to actually use the filter. The ladder up in the right hand side of the screen

179
00:23:05.160 --> 00:23:08.870
Jesse Wilson: to go in and sort my information.

180
00:23:09.850 --> 00:23:13.570
Jesse Wilson: So in this case, I'm actually going to sort by

181
00:23:13.620 --> 00:23:14.909
Jesse Wilson: title today.

182
00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:17.780
Jesse Wilson: So I'm going to switch that over there

183
00:23:18.740 --> 00:23:23.060
Jesse Wilson: and then I'm going to refine my titles that I want

184
00:23:23.600 --> 00:23:26.960
Jesse Wilson: my availability. I want only what's available. Now

185
00:23:29.740 --> 00:23:32.629
Jesse Wilson: I want it to be a

186
00:23:32.690 --> 00:23:34.210
Jesse Wilson: ebook audio book.

187
00:23:34.250 --> 00:23:36.360
Jesse Wilson: That's fine. Don't care either way.

188
00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:39.740
Jesse Wilson: I could choose my age level that I want

189
00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:45.830
Jesse Wilson: my language. So if you have special languages, you would see that here

190
00:23:46.550 --> 00:23:54.639
Jesse Wilson: release date. I can actually choose, if I want only what's been released in the last 6 months or over the last year.

191
00:23:55.460 --> 00:23:59.339
Jesse Wilson: and I can also ask for well, what's the most recent that's been added

192
00:23:59.650 --> 00:24:01.589
Jesse Wilson: as far as 90 days back.

193
00:24:02.600 --> 00:24:18.660
Jesse Wilson: but where I like to search the most is underneath the subject headings, and we're going to talk a lot about these subject headings also known as Bisacs. When we go through our admin training, because it's 1 of the ways that you can help customize. Your site is by using these.

194
00:24:19.610 --> 00:24:21.670
Jesse Wilson: So in this case, today.

195
00:24:21.770 --> 00:24:24.479
Jesse Wilson: I am going to choose.

196
00:24:24.870 --> 00:24:26.929
Jesse Wilson: Let's see, I'm gonna choose nature. Today.

197
00:24:27.470 --> 00:24:33.529
Jesse Wilson: I think I'm in the mood for some good nature here. It's a nice day outside. So I'm gonna tap on nature.

198
00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:51.729
Jesse Wilson: And if you notice, it goes from subject to categories, so it basically breaks it down a little bit more. A good example of this is like, for example, if you're looking for comic books, if you do comics and graphic novels that's going to be an adult level information

199
00:24:52.040 --> 00:25:05.280
Jesse Wilson: to find juvenile and Ya graphic novels. You would have to go to juvenile fiction or YA Fiction and then go to comic and graphic novels. And that's a publisher thing that we're going to talk more about in the Admin trainings.

200
00:25:05.930 --> 00:25:08.740
Jesse Wilson: But under these categories you know what

201
00:25:09.200 --> 00:25:11.649
Jesse Wilson: I want to know more about butterflies and moths.

202
00:25:11.970 --> 00:25:16.599
Jesse Wilson: So let me see what's available about butterf butterflies and moths. And

203
00:25:16.620 --> 00:25:22.230
Jesse Wilson: here's the book that's available. I found me something to read here the language of butterflies.

204
00:25:23.420 --> 00:25:27.480
Jesse Wilson: So when I bring this up it would show you all your selections.

205
00:25:27.630 --> 00:25:29.389
Jesse Wilson: I'm going to tap on that.

206
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:33.699
Jesse Wilson: and it shows me the information about the item.

207
00:25:35.410 --> 00:25:38.729
Jesse Wilson: You see the page, the book information there

208
00:25:39.090 --> 00:25:42.040
Jesse Wilson: underneath that I could add this to my wish list.

209
00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:45.259
Jesse Wilson: I can check it out, or I can share it

210
00:25:45.410 --> 00:25:47.180
Jesse Wilson: if I tap on share.

211
00:25:47.400 --> 00:25:57.459
Jesse Wilson: What you're going to share is a web link to the item itself. So, for example, I can actually text this to my family

212
00:25:57.580 --> 00:26:03.560
Jesse Wilson: and say, Hey, here's something really cool to read, and they get a direct link

213
00:26:03.640 --> 00:26:08.869
Jesse Wilson: to this item. If they have a library card in the system, they can check it out.

214
00:26:09.110 --> 00:26:13.618
Jesse Wilson: This is also a great way to share, even if they're not in the library system.

215
00:26:14.080 --> 00:26:25.789
Jesse Wilson: but they need to get a library card. It's a great way to remind them. Or if you're part of a group or you have friends all over the world, you can share this information and say, Hey, this is a really great book. Go check it out.

216
00:26:26.040 --> 00:26:33.049
Jesse Wilson: So I like that feature a lot underneath that it tells you your ebook information.

217
00:26:33.060 --> 00:26:35.569
Jesse Wilson: How many pages, general adult.

218
00:26:36.360 --> 00:26:38.570
Jesse Wilson: the synopsis of the book

219
00:26:39.070 --> 00:26:40.960
Jesse Wilson: that you can read through there

220
00:26:42.490 --> 00:26:50.810
Jesse Wilson: and then, finally, even more information sort of a Cataloger's Review. But my favorite part of this section is the subject area.

221
00:26:51.920 --> 00:26:52.970
Jesse Wilson: So

222
00:26:53.440 --> 00:27:05.279
Jesse Wilson: I went in and used the filters, and, like I said, I am a browser when I go through and look for books. So if I'm looking for more information about something looking at the subjects is the way to go.

223
00:27:05.350 --> 00:27:07.349
Jesse Wilson: So in this case, let's say

224
00:27:07.380 --> 00:27:10.870
Jesse Wilson: you know what I want more life sciences.

225
00:27:11.050 --> 00:27:28.869
Jesse Wilson: I can tap on that. And it would give me more information about what's in the catalog. So, for example, here we have the Sticklers guide to science and the Age of Misinformation. This actually looks like a really good book. So I'm gonna check this one out instead of the butterfly book.

226
00:27:29.180 --> 00:27:38.400
Jesse Wilson: So here I have a new suggestion, and I can follow that rabbit hole as far down as I want to go. So I'm going to check this one out.

227
00:27:38.530 --> 00:27:43.370
Jesse Wilson: and if you notice it says success, it's initializing its download.

228
00:27:45.060 --> 00:27:50.570
Jesse Wilson: and we'll see a little bit more about downloads in just a minute when we do an audio book. But in this case

229
00:27:50.850 --> 00:28:05.829
Jesse Wilson: you really do have to be on Wi-fi or in a cell service area in order to get your item. And you're going to want to make sure that that download is 100% complete before you go out of an area with service

230
00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:17.859
Jesse Wilson: if you are using cell data, it will go against your data usage. If you have that issue, if you are on a Wi-fi connection, it should not matter about your data.

231
00:28:18.410 --> 00:28:19.360
Jesse Wilson: but

232
00:28:20.140 --> 00:28:25.770
Jesse Wilson: having that so that it downloads onto your phone. So you don't have to worry about that later is the way to go

233
00:28:26.800 --> 00:28:30.540
Jesse Wilson: in this case. When it's ready, it automatically opens up

234
00:28:30.660 --> 00:28:32.409
Jesse Wilson: to the reader

235
00:28:33.880 --> 00:28:35.150
Jesse Wilson: on the reader.

236
00:28:35.500 --> 00:28:40.980
Jesse Wilson: If you flip to the left, just like with every other e-reader you've ever used.

237
00:28:41.360 --> 00:28:43.520
Jesse Wilson: You'll see how it goes.

238
00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:45.360
Jesse Wilson: forward

239
00:28:45.730 --> 00:28:47.620
Jesse Wilson: and backwards

240
00:28:47.850 --> 00:28:49.409
Jesse Wilson: if I tap in the middle

241
00:28:49.570 --> 00:28:55.079
Jesse Wilson: up at the top, left the menu bar there. It gives me my table of contents.

242
00:28:55.380 --> 00:28:59.369
Jesse Wilson: And now I'm going to click on

243
00:28:59.850 --> 00:29:02.509
Jesse Wilson: Chapter 9, superfoods and toxins.

244
00:29:02.820 --> 00:29:12.299
Jesse Wilson: Actually, that sounds like a really, Again, this sounds like a really good book. So here I'm in Chapter 9, ready to read that. So I can choose which chapter I want to go to

245
00:29:12.710 --> 00:29:13.920
Jesse Wilson: tap in the middle.

246
00:29:14.850 --> 00:29:19.749
Jesse Wilson: and in my case sometimes I tap in the wrong place, and it will advance

247
00:29:19.870 --> 00:29:31.719
Jesse Wilson: based on tapping. So just be aware of that tap in the middle again. Down at the bottom I have a slider bar that I can use to go forward or backward in my book

248
00:29:36.570 --> 00:29:39.499
Jesse Wilson: at the top again. You also have

249
00:29:39.660 --> 00:29:46.480
Jesse Wilson: your control, so you can actually change what your screen looks like for your reader.

250
00:29:46.580 --> 00:29:57.189
Jesse Wilson: and I will be honest with you. These are mainly computer reading glasses. I can take my glasses off and read just fine most of the time, but for me.

251
00:29:57.510 --> 00:30:13.599
Jesse Wilson: I like having my text as big as I can get it, and I have it set on the highest setting, for now we are in development to make these even bigger. But this is a great example of this gives you really nice large print text.

252
00:30:14.200 --> 00:30:18.680
Jesse Wilson: I can slide this down and make this smaller if I want.

253
00:30:19.460 --> 00:30:22.540
Jesse Wilson: but for me I'm going to keep it really large.

254
00:30:22.810 --> 00:30:25.760
Jesse Wilson: I can turn on and off dyslexic font.

255
00:30:26.050 --> 00:30:39.120
Jesse Wilson: Choose my page layout, and if you're on a phone like I am now, you might just want to have it as one page. But if you're on a tablet and want more of a book experience. You might want to have the 2 page look instead.

256
00:30:40.120 --> 00:30:42.790
Jesse Wilson: and then finally, you can choose your theme.

257
00:30:43.290 --> 00:30:47.129
Jesse Wilson: I like dark mode, but you don't have to have that.

258
00:30:47.770 --> 00:30:54.159
Jesse Wilson: You could choose other colors. Whatever works for your eyesight, it is up to you.

259
00:30:54.920 --> 00:30:58.499
Jesse Wilson: and in this case I am going to go back just to a basic

260
00:30:58.700 --> 00:31:01.079
Jesse Wilson: white. And you see, that's really bright.

261
00:31:01.775 --> 00:31:02.340
Jesse Wilson: Here.

262
00:31:03.030 --> 00:31:06.140
Jesse Wilson: So you have that option as well.

263
00:31:07.450 --> 00:31:19.280
Jesse Wilson: Next to the A is your bookmark so you can bookmark your page. And you can bookmark multiple pages in your text. So I'm going to go through here and just bookmark

264
00:31:19.960 --> 00:31:21.610
Jesse Wilson: couple pages there.

265
00:31:22.750 --> 00:31:25.830
Jesse Wilson: And let's say I want to see what I bookmarked

266
00:31:26.070 --> 00:31:27.850
Jesse Wilson: tap on the 3 dots.

267
00:31:28.320 --> 00:31:31.199
Jesse Wilson: and it gives me a couple of different options.

268
00:31:31.340 --> 00:31:34.120
Jesse Wilson: So to see my bookmarks. I would tap there.

269
00:31:34.280 --> 00:31:37.849
Jesse Wilson: and it would take me to where I want to go for that

270
00:31:39.330 --> 00:31:45.149
Jesse Wilson: tap on the 3 dots again, and it also gives me the option to play the book.

271
00:31:45.600 --> 00:31:55.229
Jesse Wilson: Now, this is going to be mainly a computerized voice that is playing the book. So it's not a smooth audio book like what you would see with Eaudio

272
00:31:55.636 --> 00:32:04.509
Jesse Wilson: but a lot of people really like that feature if they have a hard time concentrating, or they just want to listen to somebody else. Read the book.

273
00:32:06.390 --> 00:32:09.250
Jesse Wilson: you could choose your audio options on here.

274
00:32:09.340 --> 00:32:10.730
Jesse Wilson: So you have

275
00:32:10.740 --> 00:32:14.200
Jesse Wilson: normal, fast, slow speeds.

276
00:32:14.270 --> 00:32:34.449
Jesse Wilson: It will highlight your words or your sentences, which is actually, I have a teenage daughter with Adhd. She loves this feature because reading chapter books is really really hard for her to pay attention to sometimes, so she likes that it highlights those sentences to help her stay on track with what she's doing.

277
00:32:34.860 --> 00:32:38.430
Jesse Wilson: and you also have various voices.

278
00:32:38.570 --> 00:32:47.369
Jesse Wilson: Now, if you don't want to listen to the voices and you just want it highlighted, just turn your sound off, and there you go. You had have a wonderful little highlight there.

279
00:32:47.900 --> 00:32:57.509
Jesse Wilson: so in this case I have it set up, and you might not be able to hear it, because I do have my volume all the way down. Let me turn it up.

280
00:33:02.530 --> 00:33:08.870
Jesse Wilson: And yeah, you're not going to hear it through, zoom, but it will start to go through this.

281
00:33:09.320 --> 00:33:11.310
Jesse Wilson: and I'm gonna pause it that way.

282
00:33:14.090 --> 00:33:15.040
Jesse Wilson: and

283
00:33:15.160 --> 00:33:17.900
Jesse Wilson: then it will play the page, flip the page.

284
00:33:17.950 --> 00:33:19.050
Jesse Wilson: play again

285
00:33:20.310 --> 00:33:38.274
Jesse Wilson: underneath that you can see your notes and highlights. If you want to highlight things in the book, you can use the search feature, and I will warn you when you use the search feature, it might take a minute for it to find everything in that book. So, for example, I was doing a training when

286
00:33:39.110 --> 00:33:45.090
Jesse Wilson: on and using a book on NASA. I use the search term NASA,

287
00:33:45.250 --> 00:33:54.289
Jesse Wilson: which was a mistake, and it kept trying to find all those instances. So keep that in mind when you're doing your search. It might take a minute if you're looking for specific

288
00:33:54.950 --> 00:33:56.680
Jesse Wilson: word there.

289
00:33:57.070 --> 00:33:59.930
Jesse Wilson: and also a little help area as well.

290
00:34:00.460 --> 00:34:05.629
Jesse Wilson: One thing about the play feature that I will go back to and mention is that

291
00:34:06.320 --> 00:34:09.830
Jesse Wilson: this works for chapter books only.

292
00:34:09.889 --> 00:34:17.119
Jesse Wilson: If it is a comic, graphic novel or a picture book. The play function might not work.

293
00:34:17.239 --> 00:34:28.990
Jesse Wilson: and not all books have that feature, and a lot of that has to do with how the publishers send us this information and how things are formatted in there. So just keep that in mind as you're reading

294
00:34:30.150 --> 00:34:31.439
Jesse Wilson: when you're done.

295
00:34:32.060 --> 00:34:33.340
Jesse Wilson: tap the

296
00:34:33.780 --> 00:34:38.429
Jesse Wilson: little arrow up at the top left, and it takes you back to

297
00:34:38.460 --> 00:34:40.099
Jesse Wilson: where you were before.

298
00:34:40.170 --> 00:34:50.580
Jesse Wilson: Now. At this point it took me back to the book information where I was reading, and if you notice it has this, the bar telling me

299
00:34:50.719 --> 00:34:59.559
Jesse Wilson: how much it's going to take to download, and in this case is at 58%. More than likely when it popped open. It

300
00:34:59.580 --> 00:35:00.950
Jesse Wilson: started its

301
00:35:01.050 --> 00:35:06.939
Jesse Wilson: sort of slow down the download there a little bit, but you can always go back and

302
00:35:07.070 --> 00:35:08.230
Jesse Wilson: pick up again.

303
00:35:10.190 --> 00:35:12.169
Jesse Wilson: I'm gonna go back to browse

304
00:35:12.340 --> 00:35:15.090
Jesse Wilson: because this time we're going to look for an audio book.

305
00:35:15.970 --> 00:35:18.540
Jesse Wilson: So I'm going to tap on my

306
00:35:18.790 --> 00:35:20.130
Jesse Wilson: ladder there.

307
00:35:20.560 --> 00:35:24.649
Jesse Wilson: And this time I'm gonna look for.

308
00:35:25.530 --> 00:35:27.680
Jesse Wilson: Let's do

309
00:35:28.230 --> 00:35:30.089
Jesse Wilson: sports and recreation.

310
00:35:31.130 --> 00:35:36.189
Jesse Wilson: And I'm not going to worry about a sub category. I just want it to be e audio.

311
00:35:36.720 --> 00:35:38.160
Jesse Wilson: and let's search.

312
00:35:38.550 --> 00:35:43.929
Jesse Wilson: And now I have a couple of different options here as that I can scroll through.

313
00:35:45.720 --> 00:35:47.590
Jesse Wilson: Well, you know what.

314
00:35:47.670 --> 00:35:50.449
Jesse Wilson: Let's see what we have available here

315
00:35:50.680 --> 00:35:53.450
Jesse Wilson: going down through here. Most of it's available.

316
00:35:54.070 --> 00:36:00.689
Jesse Wilson: I'm gonna go back to the top because I'm going to show you the information about Tiger Tiger, by James Patterson.

317
00:36:01.950 --> 00:36:06.939
Jesse Wilson: If you notice all the information is pretty much the same as what you saw with an ebook.

318
00:36:07.150 --> 00:36:15.420
Jesse Wilson: but in this case it's not available. There's a wait list on it. There was a little wait, list, notification. There, I'm going to click, place, hold.

319
00:36:16.280 --> 00:36:17.930
Jesse Wilson: and it says success.

320
00:36:17.980 --> 00:36:34.539
Jesse Wilson: I now have a hold. And the reason why it does it that way is because I already have my email address in my profile. If you don't put an email address in your profile, it will pop up and ask you for that information every time you place a hold. So that's why I say, make sure you have that in your profile.

321
00:36:35.370 --> 00:36:37.800
Jesse Wilson: so I have that hold ready to go.

322
00:36:38.370 --> 00:36:49.319
Jesse Wilson: If I tap the down arrow I can suspend my hold, or I can share my title if I want, and I'm actually going to suspend the hold, because I don't really need another hold on here

323
00:36:50.700 --> 00:36:58.339
Jesse Wilson: again. I can go down through here and see more information. It gives some in. Some suggestions, actually.

324
00:36:58.560 --> 00:37:00.129
Jesse Wilson: for more like this

325
00:37:00.300 --> 00:37:01.929
Jesse Wilson: under details.

326
00:37:02.350 --> 00:37:07.089
Jesse Wilson: Again, I can go down through here and look at the subject matter.

327
00:37:07.490 --> 00:37:10.920
Jesse Wilson: In this case I'm going to go back to more like this.

328
00:37:11.050 --> 00:37:13.820
Jesse Wilson: and I'm going to choose just a random

329
00:37:14.170 --> 00:37:19.299
Jesse Wilson: James Patterson book, and, to be honest, I didn't mean to choose James Patterson. It just

330
00:37:19.570 --> 00:37:21.279
Jesse Wilson: happen to work out that way.

331
00:37:21.540 --> 00:37:27.569
Jesse Wilson: So in this case I am going to go in here, and I'm going to choose a James Patterson book and check it out.

332
00:37:28.470 --> 00:37:32.360
Jesse Wilson: And now it might take a minute for it to

333
00:37:33.944 --> 00:37:34.849
Jesse Wilson: download.

334
00:37:36.080 --> 00:37:43.919
Jesse Wilson: So here, if it does not initialize the download, it will have that download there, and you just tap on that, and it will start up

335
00:37:43.940 --> 00:37:51.609
Jesse Wilson: in this case. If you notice this audio book is starting to download, it's a little slow, because I am sharing on a system here.

336
00:37:52.240 --> 00:37:56.269
Jesse Wilson: I have 2 computers running right now. So it's taken a little bit of data here.

337
00:37:56.746 --> 00:38:02.339
Jesse Wilson: When it's ready it will open up the listen, Tab, as well.

338
00:38:02.410 --> 00:38:03.670
Jesse Wilson: In this case

339
00:38:03.760 --> 00:38:09.079
Jesse Wilson: I'm not going to wait for it to finish downloading so that I can go ahead and show you the listen area

340
00:38:10.040 --> 00:38:11.639
Jesse Wilson: so I can tap on. Listen.

341
00:38:12.320 --> 00:38:17.489
Jesse Wilson: and it will keep downloading in the background. But I wanted to show you the player.

342
00:38:17.670 --> 00:38:19.360
Jesse Wilson: so on the player

343
00:38:19.550 --> 00:38:25.870
Jesse Wilson: again, very easy to use. Up at the top. You have a bookmark option.

344
00:38:26.630 --> 00:38:33.100
Jesse Wilson: Underneath the book you have a bar that shows you what is remaining in the chapter.

345
00:38:34.730 --> 00:38:41.620
Jesse Wilson: Your forward and back. The large arrows are for your chapters forward and back, so you can go back and forth that way.

346
00:38:42.120 --> 00:38:45.100
Jesse Wilson: 30 seconds forward, 30 seconds back.

347
00:38:45.770 --> 00:38:46.750
Jesse Wilson: middle

348
00:38:47.020 --> 00:38:55.620
Jesse Wilson: play button, hashtag audio presents 3 days to live, written by James Patterson read.

349
00:38:57.220 --> 00:39:02.510
Jesse Wilson: So I'm gonna go ahead and turn that off, because that was really loud on my computer. So play and pause

350
00:39:02.850 --> 00:39:11.020
Jesse Wilson: underneath that you do have a audio bar so you can make sure that's all the way up, if you like. That only works within the player.

351
00:39:12.290 --> 00:39:35.109
Jesse Wilson: Then you have your customization. So I personally like to listen to Youtube videos on like one and a half and 2 speeds. And I've learned with audio books. I like to listen to them at like 1 1.2 5 or 1.5 speeds down here on the bottom left. You have that option to change that. So, for example.

352
00:39:35.190 --> 00:39:40.529
Jesse Wilson: if I tap on this, it goes all the way up to a 3 time speed.

353
00:39:41.660 --> 00:39:45.829
Jesse Wilson: or you can slow it down to a point 7 5 speed.

354
00:39:46.360 --> 00:39:49.860
Jesse Wilson: I'm going to actually change it back to a 1.2 5,

355
00:39:50.200 --> 00:39:52.280
Jesse Wilson: because that's what I like to have it on.

356
00:39:53.460 --> 00:39:55.399
Jesse Wilson: I have the sleep timer here.

357
00:39:55.950 --> 00:39:59.850
Jesse Wilson: where, if you're someone who likes to go to sleep listening to audio books.

358
00:40:00.140 --> 00:40:06.790
Jesse Wilson: you have your choice of what you would like to choose. So up to 90 min. End of chapter end of next chapter.

359
00:40:07.800 --> 00:40:10.880
Jesse Wilson: and then finally on the bottom right

360
00:40:10.950 --> 00:40:14.990
Jesse Wilson: tap on the 3 lines. It shows you your bookmarks.

361
00:40:15.300 --> 00:40:23.319
Jesse Wilson: and it also gives you the options to jump through your chapters, and it shows you how long each of the chapters are as well

362
00:40:25.820 --> 00:40:29.100
Jesse Wilson: when you're done listening to your item.

363
00:40:29.250 --> 00:40:38.050
Jesse Wilson: and it will hold your place for the reader and for the player. That's the other thing. I want to make sure that you know. Tap the x when you're done.

364
00:40:38.290 --> 00:40:41.410
Jesse Wilson: and it takes you back to your last screen.

365
00:40:42.280 --> 00:40:44.760
Jesse Wilson: I'm going to go back to my my shelf, though.

366
00:40:44.770 --> 00:40:46.090
Jesse Wilson: because, again.

367
00:40:46.460 --> 00:40:52.920
Jesse Wilson: if you are on my shelf, here's everything that is currently checked out. I can just scroll through here

368
00:40:53.720 --> 00:40:55.669
Jesse Wilson: and see what is there

369
00:40:55.910 --> 00:40:59.530
Jesse Wilson: in this case, I'm actually done with most of these books.

370
00:40:59.960 --> 00:41:08.550
Jesse Wilson: I'm going to go in here, and if I want to listen, I can just tap on it, and it'll bring it up. But I want to return this, so I'm going to tap 3 dots there.

371
00:41:09.310 --> 00:41:32.350
Jesse Wilson: It gives me the option of removing the download or just returning the item. I will warn you if you just remove the download. That is not returning the item to the library. That just takes it off your device. But if the time has ran out it will automatically return to your library anyway. So I'm gonna go ahead and return this just because I don't like keeping books

372
00:41:32.480 --> 00:41:34.109
Jesse Wilson: if I'm not going to use them.

373
00:41:34.520 --> 00:41:45.420
Jesse Wilson: And there we go. It's already done ready to go. If I tap on the 3 dots. I can say, you know what. Actually, I'm going to add this to my wish list, for later. I'm not really going to read it now.

374
00:41:45.500 --> 00:41:47.249
Jesse Wilson: but I'm going to go ahead and return it.

375
00:41:48.060 --> 00:41:51.840
Jesse Wilson: So you have all of those options available to you.

376
00:41:54.190 --> 00:41:56.660
Jesse Wilson: That is how you search for a book.

377
00:41:56.860 --> 00:42:21.610
Jesse Wilson: how to check out a book and read or listen. Now, here's some fun things you can do with your app as well and as a library, a way of customizing the user experience to sort of help engage your patrons a little bit more as well as get more people on the application itself. So we have down at the bottom something called programs.

378
00:42:22.180 --> 00:42:46.130
Jesse Wilson: So under programs. Here is where you go in. And you as a library will learn how to create a program in the 3rd Admin training. So the advanced training. And this allows you to have book club books on here. Kids, books, summer reading, all of that is going to be available under programs. And if you notice here.

379
00:42:46.464 --> 00:42:57.829
Jesse Wilson: I have my programs. I've already joined one here. Texas authors has a little bar telling me I can actually go in and see how I'm doing. So far I haven't read anything yet.

380
00:42:58.530 --> 00:43:06.830
Jesse Wilson: but it also gives me a list of open programs right now, other than that one. Nothing else is there? So if you don't do a program

381
00:43:06.930 --> 00:43:08.030
Jesse Wilson: that's fine.

382
00:43:08.250 --> 00:43:09.549
Jesse Wilson: it won't be there.

383
00:43:11.580 --> 00:43:12.830
Jesse Wilson: Finally.

384
00:43:12.840 --> 00:43:14.420
Jesse Wilson: we have the menu.

385
00:43:14.790 --> 00:43:24.840
Jesse Wilson: and the menu area is basically a place to go where you can change your profile settings and find a lot of useful help, information about the application.

386
00:43:24.930 --> 00:43:28.339
Jesse Wilson: So here I can go in and change my profile settings.

387
00:43:28.510 --> 00:43:30.069
Jesse Wilson: my preferences.

388
00:43:31.000 --> 00:43:32.649
Jesse Wilson: But I can also get

389
00:43:32.670 --> 00:43:37.230
Jesse Wilson: help, and I love our help area for the app.

390
00:43:37.330 --> 00:43:44.959
Jesse Wilson: This is a place where you get any information that you can think of on how to use the application. You can see it there

391
00:43:46.080 --> 00:43:47.420
Jesse Wilson: and also

392
00:43:47.920 --> 00:43:48.870
Jesse Wilson: feedback.

393
00:43:50.210 --> 00:44:08.349
Jesse Wilson: The feedback area is my favorite, because it actually links with Boundless support. So this will send the information directly to us here at Baker and Taylor, and then someone from our support team will get back to you, one on one. So you don't have to worry about

394
00:44:08.693 --> 00:44:13.860
Jesse Wilson: not hearing back from us if there's an issue, and you know it's going to get fixed.

395
00:44:13.950 --> 00:44:17.939
Jesse Wilson: So in this case, up at the top where it says, Report a bug.

396
00:44:18.260 --> 00:44:19.280
Jesse Wilson: let's say.

397
00:44:19.290 --> 00:44:23.210
Jesse Wilson: Oh, no, you know my book didn't download correctly.

398
00:44:23.320 --> 00:44:24.539
Jesse Wilson: What do I do?

399
00:44:24.640 --> 00:44:37.609
Jesse Wilson: You can send in your comment and please have your patrons fill out the email. It makes it easier to get in touch with people. We can actually look at the account information that comes over. So it'll tell us, okay.

400
00:44:37.999 --> 00:44:48.409
Jesse Wilson: this person needs to update their phone, or there's something wrong with the audio book itself, and we can fix it for them, and then get back to them.

401
00:44:49.200 --> 00:45:01.119
Jesse Wilson: If they have a suggestion, or they just want to leave a comment, they can send that in as well, and our team will get it. If it's something related to your library, we will pass it along to you as well.

402
00:45:02.860 --> 00:45:10.399
Jesse Wilson: When you are doing tech support. I will tell you this before they start sending feedback. Make sure that one.

403
00:45:11.000 --> 00:45:19.190
Jesse Wilson: Their phone is fully up to date, or their device is fully up to date, and 2 make sure that they have the application fully up to date.

404
00:45:19.674 --> 00:45:38.790
Jesse Wilson: Being a former tech librarian, that was the number one issue that people would come in and say, Hey, my book's not working. What's going on? They haven't updated their phone in 5 years, and they haven't Updated the app in 3 months. So please make sure that everything is updated appropriately there and then, if something's still wrong.

405
00:45:39.160 --> 00:45:45.510
Jesse Wilson: we'll talk about sending in support tickets in the next training as well as they can always send that feedback in

406
00:45:45.910 --> 00:45:53.969
Jesse Wilson: underneath that you have some basic, just licensing information. And then if they want to sign out they can again.

407
00:45:54.240 --> 00:46:03.960
Jesse Wilson: No one has to sign out of their application. It will stay logged in for 45 days. After that time it will ask you to put back in your information as well.

408
00:46:05.990 --> 00:46:11.540
Jesse Wilson: and that is your Boundless application at this point.

409
00:46:11.890 --> 00:46:20.280
Jesse Wilson: I'm going to turn it back over to Karen, so that we can go through and do the questions that I know have come up. Let me get out of this.

410
00:46:21.490 --> 00:46:22.180
Jesse Wilson: Yeah, so. But.

411
00:46:22.180 --> 00:46:33.210
Karen McElfresh: Before we get into questions which, if you have any, we it's been pretty quiet so far. So if you're still thinking of your questions. You can start typing those in. But before we get to that I have a few more slides to show you.

412
00:46:33.769 --> 00:46:49.359
Karen McElfresh: So we do have some promotional materials ready. I know some of you are starting to think about how you're going to promote this change to your users, so let me get my chat back. Here is the link to the promotion page, where you can find everything we have available.

413
00:46:49.560 --> 00:47:12.510
Karen McElfresh: So there are new bookmarks, and like half sheet flyers available. You might have had the old ones that had SimplyE on one side. So those have been updated. It will now reflect Boundless on that side. And you can order those if you want. I can send you some. We will not start sending them out until September, but you can go ahead and put your order in if you want them.

414
00:47:13.084 --> 00:47:15.870
Karen McElfresh: There's the link for that form.

415
00:47:16.506 --> 00:47:20.060
Karen McElfresh: That's the easiest way to tell me what you want is to use the form.

416
00:47:20.170 --> 00:47:22.949
Karen McElfresh: and again, they'll ship in September.

417
00:47:23.675 --> 00:47:41.880
Karen McElfresh: There's also a flyer that you, this flyer you can print yourself. I won't be sending out copies of the flyer. But this is to help with the transition. So for if your library, if you have a lot of active patrons on SimplyE, and you want to let them know about the changes that are happening. You might use this. Find this flyer useful.

418
00:47:42.383 --> 00:47:47.850
Karen McElfresh: This is one side of the flyer here on the screen. It explains how to log into Boundless with screenshots.

419
00:47:47.900 --> 00:47:53.700
Karen McElfresh: and then on the back side is a frequently asked questions, sort of document. That explains

420
00:47:53.760 --> 00:48:11.609
Karen McElfresh: what we're changing, how it might impact them, what they need to do, that kind of thing. I would recommend at a minimum that you read through this for yourself, and maybe it's useful for you to give to patrons. Maybe it's not, but it might at least answer some of your questions, and it might be something good to have at your circulation desk.

421
00:48:11.630 --> 00:48:13.769
Karen McElfresh: or just to share with your staff

422
00:48:15.460 --> 00:48:23.310
Karen McElfresh: and again check out the web page for everything else. I've already had a request for some social media graphics, so I will add those as soon as I have them available.

423
00:48:25.110 --> 00:48:54.730
Karen McElfresh: There are also materials from Baker and Taylor that you might find useful. These are. They don't have every Texas branding on them, but if this is what you prefer to use. Then go ahead and use it. Let me copy that link in the chat for you. This is the link to Baker and Taylor's page. They have a number of items, and some of them are customizable, like here on the screen is the bookmark that they offer, and there's a little blank space, and that blue bubble that you can put your library's logo if you want to do that.

424
00:48:55.260 --> 00:49:01.170
Karen McElfresh: so feel free to use whatever of that you want, or customize it, or mix and match, or however you want to do it

425
00:49:02.820 --> 00:49:30.569
Karen McElfresh: for next steps. So keep watching the E-Read Texas Listserv for announcements about what's happening. So as we get closer to October one. There's going to be more information coming to you. I will try not to spam you with too many messages, but there are going to be. There's going to be more traffic there than maybe what you're used to, and if you want to be added to the list, you can send an email to ebooks@tsl.texas.gov. And I will be happy to add you, or just check to see if you're already subscribed.

426
00:49:31.930 --> 00:49:55.020
Karen McElfresh: Your Boundless site. Details will be sent out in September, and I know there was a question about this. If Staff already have access. So at the very beginning, I said you might. Your site might be ready now. It might not, but everybody will have access in the middle of September. The dates we're looking at for that are, I think, September 11th through the 16th is somewhere in there is where you're going to get your site information.

427
00:49:55.020 --> 00:50:04.309
Karen McElfresh: So just be on the lookout for that. We'll talk about this in the Admin training next week. But just to give you a heads up that that's coming to you.

428
00:50:05.250 --> 00:50:14.119
Karen McElfresh: And then we've programmed in announcements in SimplyE that will start on September 9, th and they'll run through the end of the month every Monday there'll be a new announcement.

429
00:50:14.180 --> 00:50:30.099
Karen McElfresh: and it's very short. It just says, you know, your library is moving to the Boundless app contact, your library for more details. That type of thing. So that's just to let people know that things are changing. You might get questions off of that. And that might be where that flyer that I showed becomes useful.

430
00:50:32.120 --> 00:50:42.059
Karen McElfresh: Training continues next month. So this is session, one that you just heard today, and we have 2 more sessions. Session 2 is either September 4, th 6th or 10.th

431
00:50:42.130 --> 00:50:47.679
Karen McElfresh: This is required. At least one person from your library needs to take this session, this session.

432
00:50:47.810 --> 00:51:05.799
Karen McElfresh: It's whoever has primary responsibility for Boundless, because this one is going to cover the Admin side of things. The back end reports some customization kind of light stuff there, site settings actually more so than customization. So someone will need to attend that.

433
00:51:05.840 --> 00:51:22.009
Karen McElfresh: And then session 3 is going to be the advanced session that talks about customization, the programs that Jesse showed. If you want to learn how to make programs for your library, that will be in session 3. And then we'll also talk about some of the collection curation types of options in that session.

434
00:51:22.350 --> 00:51:26.570
Karen McElfresh: So the links for all of the training registrations are

435
00:51:27.220 --> 00:51:31.069
Karen McElfresh: on the training page which I just put that link in the chat for you.

436
00:51:32.670 --> 00:51:42.449
Karen McElfresh: and if questions can be sent to the ebooks account anything that you don't think of today, or just weighing on your mind, you can send them to the ebooks at Tsl. Account.

437
00:51:42.540 --> 00:51:46.010
Karen McElfresh: and if it needs to go to Baker and Taylor, I will send it on your behalf.

438
00:51:46.650 --> 00:51:50.119
Karen McElfresh: so I will leave that up, and let's look at the questions.

439
00:51:50.710 --> 00:51:51.560
Jesse Wilson: Okay.

440
00:51:52.175 --> 00:52:10.450
Jesse Wilson: does the app do push notifications. Yes. Actually, if you go into your phone settings, you can set that up. So for example in my iphone. I went underneath settings, found the Boundless app, and then said, Yes, go ahead and put on notifications so you can get push notifications.

441
00:52:12.710 --> 00:52:17.910
Jesse Wilson: does checked out mean? The item is checked out through the library.

442
00:52:18.690 --> 00:52:19.670
Jesse Wilson: Yes.

443
00:52:20.720 --> 00:52:23.610
Jesse Wilson: So the item is checked out through the library.

444
00:52:24.020 --> 00:52:25.830
Karen McElfresh: Yeah, I wasn't quite sure what

445
00:52:25.850 --> 00:52:27.249
Karen McElfresh: they meant by this.

446
00:52:27.310 --> 00:52:34.369
Karen McElfresh: So if you, Stephanie, if you have a clarification, feel free to enter it. But yes, checked out means you're checking it out just like you check out a print book.

447
00:52:36.350 --> 00:52:49.530
Jesse Wilson: That circulation will go towards your particular branch from your application. But it does mean throughout all of T of E-Read Texas. If there's only one item available. That means

448
00:52:49.570 --> 00:52:51.940
Jesse Wilson: it's checked out completely. There.

449
00:52:52.978 --> 00:52:56.920
Jesse Wilson: Do. Texas library staff have access to the app yet again.

450
00:52:57.503 --> 00:53:00.680
Jesse Wilson: Coming soon. In the next 2 weeks.

451
00:53:02.730 --> 00:53:07.029
Jesse Wilson: How long is the checkout for so the checkout is.

452
00:53:07.030 --> 00:53:21.650
Karen McElfresh: It's 21 days. The checkout is. It's the same for everybody. It's 21 days across the board. You can't change it and it's 20 items at a time, and I think 10 holds, I think, is the limits.

453
00:53:23.702 --> 00:53:30.200
Karen McElfresh: and then, Daniel. Same question. I noticed the limits are higher than overdrive. Does the appetite take an account?

454
00:53:30.270 --> 00:53:43.650
Karen McElfresh: So, Daniel, this app does not integrate your overdrive content the way that SimplyE does. So I think that's what you're getting at here with this. This is only going to contain the E-Read Texas collection. And like, I said, everybody has the same checkout period

455
00:53:44.340 --> 00:53:47.858
Karen McElfresh: and another one on checkout period. It's 21 days.

456
00:53:50.873 --> 00:53:52.540
Karen McElfresh: Amanda's question.

457
00:53:53.940 --> 00:54:03.817
Jesse Wilson: Will they be multi-use simultaneous use? Okay, so in that case it depends on the purchasing model. Most of what is purchased. If I'm not mistaken. Karen is

458
00:54:04.170 --> 00:54:04.630
Karen McElfresh: Both.

459
00:54:05.000 --> 00:54:05.370
Jesse Wilson: Yeah.

460
00:54:05.370 --> 00:54:08.939
Karen McElfresh: Most are one user. So all of the really popular titles.

461
00:54:08.960 --> 00:54:17.369
Karen McElfresh: you know, all the James Patterson that Jesse showed all of the you know your big authors. Those are one user at a time, and that's determined by the publisher.

462
00:54:17.390 --> 00:54:25.739
Karen McElfresh: So there's really no way other way to buy it in most cases. And then we do have content. That's multi user. But that's usually

463
00:54:25.920 --> 00:54:32.080
Karen McElfresh: like independent fiction. Some of the nonfiction kind of stuff. But the bulk of it is one user at a time.

464
00:54:32.890 --> 00:54:49.889
Jesse Wilson: So I want to go back real quick to Stephanie. She actually clarified her question. So the checkout is to individual computer or phone instead of physical checkout at library. So when you check your item out, it is individual checkout to your

465
00:54:49.930 --> 00:54:51.400
Jesse Wilson: profile

466
00:54:51.570 --> 00:54:53.080
Jesse Wilson: on the Boundless app.

467
00:54:53.110 --> 00:55:05.370
Jesse Wilson: So if you have your app downloaded on an ipad and also one on your phone. Yes, you can actually go between the 2 devices, and they will sync up.

468
00:55:05.520 --> 00:55:10.140
Jesse Wilson: So it. It's about the app itself. Not necessarily your device.

469
00:55:12.240 --> 00:55:14.540
Jesse Wilson: I hope, that helps. If not, please

470
00:55:14.700 --> 00:55:17.771
Jesse Wilson: keep asking questions. I'm great with that

471
00:55:19.640 --> 00:55:29.120
Jesse Wilson: accessing fonts when you're in your reader. If you tap in the middle, there's going to be an A up at the top right, and then click the A, and you'll see that

472
00:55:29.890 --> 00:55:31.210
Jesse Wilson: option there

473
00:55:32.340 --> 00:55:37.849
Jesse Wilson: does SimplyE have different books, or only the ones available in the library.

474
00:55:38.880 --> 00:55:57.270
Karen McElfresh: I'm not sure what what you mean. So 1st of all, we're not. We're moving away from SimplyE SimplyE is going away. But all of that same content is now going to be in Boundless, if that's what you're asking. So it's the same content that you've always had. It's it's it'll just be in the Boundless app. Now.

475
00:56:00.546 --> 00:56:11.300
Jesse Wilson: Is it possible to have the settings for availability and format to stay in place throughout the search, instead of having to, instead of having to reset it for each search.

476
00:56:12.029 --> 00:56:14.189
Jesse Wilson: Not at this time.

477
00:56:14.570 --> 00:56:20.360
Jesse Wilson: But I will send that information to development that that would be a nice add on.

478
00:56:21.420 --> 00:56:22.559
Jesse Wilson: Thank you for that.

479
00:56:24.980 --> 00:56:33.079
Jesse Wilson: Will this app app be available on E-readers if you can download an application, then? Yes.

480
00:56:33.580 --> 00:56:48.009
Jesse Wilson: The problem with E. Readers is that if you're using something like a kindle paper white, unless you're using really Amazon products, it's not going to work with Boundless. It doesn't go there because Amazon will not allow it.

481
00:56:48.642 --> 00:56:53.740
Jesse Wilson: My husband does have an e-reader called a books. BOOX,

482
00:56:54.222 --> 00:57:09.889
Jesse Wilson: that is an e ink, reader, and it does allow for applications, and he has been able to use Boundless on that one. It uses an android based system. But on his paper, white, he can't do that. Unfortunately.

483
00:57:10.470 --> 00:57:11.620
Jesse Wilson: if only

484
00:57:11.770 --> 00:57:13.680
Jesse Wilson: Amazon would let that go!

485
00:57:14.950 --> 00:57:27.189
Jesse Wilson: although we can stay logged in. Is it safe? Yes, it is safe. Baker and Taylor does not save your personal information. So even though you put in that

486
00:57:27.250 --> 00:57:33.950
Jesse Wilson: email address, it's not like someone can go in and grab that information. It is very, very safe.

487
00:57:35.510 --> 00:57:43.120
Jesse Wilson: Our renewals allowed as long as no one's waiting on that item. Yes, as long as the library allows it.

488
00:57:43.120 --> 00:57:58.169
Karen McElfresh: Yeah, it's not enabled right now, but I think the plan is, once it goes live that we. I will switch that setting so if you're playing with it early, you may not see that option just yet, but we can add it. We'll add it once we flip over to from SimplyE.

489
00:57:58.980 --> 00:58:11.090
Jesse Wilson: And what will happen there is that if you have your emails enabled in your profile, it will send you a reminder email a couple of days ahead of time, saying, Hey, don't forget to renew. So when that gets turned on, you'll see that.

490
00:58:11.580 --> 00:58:15.379
Jesse Wilson: Is there a way to toggle between 2 or more library card accounts

491
00:58:15.720 --> 00:58:28.670
Jesse Wilson: at this time. You just have to log out of your account and then go find the other one and log in that way at this moment. We are working on that feature hopefully, coming out sometime next year.

492
00:58:30.287 --> 00:58:33.309
Jesse Wilson: Can multiple patrons log into the same account?

493
00:58:33.760 --> 00:58:52.319
Jesse Wilson: We do family accounts so often. We have a parent kid using the account same time. If they're using the same library card. Yes, they can create their profiles on the same library card. If they have different cards, then they need to sign out and then sign in with that other card information on the device.

494
00:58:57.270 --> 00:59:03.150
Jesse Wilson: Yes, you can use it on a kindle fire, but not a paper. White.

495
00:59:05.950 --> 00:59:09.248
Karen McElfresh: Yeah, kindle fire should be fine.

496
00:59:09.980 --> 00:59:13.770
Karen McElfresh: since you can download the app to it. So we've been getting this question

497
00:59:14.330 --> 00:59:18.410
Karen McElfresh: multiple times in every session. And yeah, it's just kindle fires.

498
00:59:19.190 --> 00:59:27.940
Jesse Wilson: So how is the library notified about overdue items? Well, the great thing about econtent is that it automatically comes off your device. So there's no overdue items.

499
00:59:27.970 --> 00:59:29.580
Jesse Wilson: So that's really nice. There.

500
00:59:31.169 --> 00:59:34.999
Jesse Wilson: Can you change the voice of the speaker on all the books?

501
00:59:35.740 --> 00:59:54.719
Jesse Wilson: Yes, on the chapter books that have the like computerized voice. You can do that as long as that option is there. Again, if it's a picture book or a comic book, it just depends on how the format comes over from the publisher if it's an audio book. No, that stays.

502
00:59:54.900 --> 00:59:56.809
Jesse Wilson: However, they did the audio book

503
00:59:57.520 --> 00:59:59.470
Jesse Wilson: so hopefully. They have a good reader.

504
01:00:05.870 --> 01:00:10.709
Karen McElfresh: You mean using the same account across multiple devices? Yes, Karen, you can do that. That you just signed.

505
01:00:10.710 --> 01:00:11.030
Jesse Wilson: Yeah.

506
01:00:11.030 --> 01:00:31.049
Karen McElfresh: Each one, and it should sync up everything you have checked out. You will have to download the books on every device, though, so if you use a phone during the day and a tablet at night, you'll have to download it on both devices. But you won't have to recheck it out, or any it should be there. But you'll just have to watch to make sure you've downloaded it everywhere.

507
01:00:31.200 --> 01:00:33.083
Karen McElfresh: especially if you don't have

508
01:00:33.690 --> 01:00:37.010
Karen McElfresh: consistent Wi-fi, you know, if you are in a rural area

509
01:00:37.280 --> 01:00:43.350
Karen McElfresh: like some patrons, you know, we know they come to the library, they download everything, and then they don't have Internet until they come back to the library.

510
01:00:43.520 --> 01:00:45.540
Karen McElfresh: So yeah, just make sure you download it.

511
01:00:47.710 --> 01:01:00.489
Jesse Wilson: When you do a sort by author. Is there a way to type in the author you want, instead of having to scroll through all the authors to get to the one you're looking for. I would honestly not use the sort feature

512
01:01:00.860 --> 01:01:05.560
Jesse Wilson: author that way. What I would do is type in the author's name, in the search bar.

513
01:01:05.570 --> 01:01:08.510
Jesse Wilson: and that makes things a lot easier to do.

514
01:01:11.237 --> 01:01:18.569
Jesse Wilson: Does Boundless have a feature to see new books coming in, or would that be under programs? Actually.

515
01:01:19.210 --> 01:01:29.730
Jesse Wilson: that's a great question for Karen. If she wants to set up a featured list of new and upcoming, then that is, on whoever sets up that featured list.

516
01:01:30.400 --> 01:01:46.664
Karen McElfresh: Yeah. And I think we we talked about we're gonna try to and set that up for you a new title list, but if not, it'll be come to session 3, and you can learn how to create a list like that. So it would be automated. But that'll be the the advanced admin session.

517
01:01:49.915 --> 01:01:50.800
Jesse Wilson: And

518
01:01:50.970 --> 01:01:55.650
Jesse Wilson: is the checkout limit per checkout or per month? It's per checkout.

519
01:01:55.650 --> 01:01:58.280
Karen McElfresh: It's well, yeah, it's 20 items at one time.

520
01:01:58.360 --> 01:02:00.779
Karen McElfresh: So once you have 20 items

521
01:02:00.900 --> 01:02:06.160
Karen McElfresh: to get to one another one, you'd have to return something. So it's 2020 items at one time.

522
01:02:09.810 --> 01:02:10.750
Karen McElfresh: and then

523
01:02:11.380 --> 01:02:28.270
Karen McElfresh: well, there'll be statewide programs or just library specific, just library specific. There's no way for me to create programs that you can reuse. I mean, the only way we can do it is I can post like an Excel sheet of titles that you could then, but you would have to go in and recreate the program on your account.

524
01:02:28.560 --> 01:02:33.699
Karen McElfresh: and I don't have any plans to do that at least not immediately. So, for

525
01:02:33.910 --> 01:02:38.790
Karen McElfresh: you know right now it would just be library specific to create a program.

526
01:02:39.400 --> 01:02:49.069
Jesse Wilson: And one of the things that I'll show you in the 3rd or the advanced admin area is an easy way to create these programs in these lists?

527
01:02:50.905 --> 01:02:55.409
Jesse Wilson: In the chat there are a couple of questions that came up.

528
01:02:56.075 --> 01:03:00.809
Jesse Wilson: How will we know when this new E-Read will be starting to let our patrons know.

529
01:03:01.640 --> 01:03:04.073
Karen McElfresh: So I talked about that.

530
01:03:04.840 --> 01:03:16.840
Karen McElfresh: there's a it's October first. That's the date is that we're going live. It's October one -- on this promotional page. There are numerous materials you can use to help promote the change to your patrons.

531
01:03:17.194 --> 01:03:23.205
Karen McElfresh: If you have something more specific in mind, just let me know. But that is what is

532
01:03:24.010 --> 01:03:28.999
Karen McElfresh: available. And, as I said, announcements will start going out in SimplyE on September 9th

533
01:03:29.090 --> 01:03:36.270
Karen McElfresh: So when your patron opens SimplyE, they will see a little pop up telling them that the change is happening.

534
01:03:36.280 --> 01:03:40.739
Karen McElfresh: and they might contact you based off of that. But but that's what we've got going.

535
01:03:40.970 --> 01:03:48.132
Karen McElfresh: Cynthia. 20 checkouts at a time. And then Donna, will you be sending all these links to our emails?

536
01:03:48.830 --> 01:03:58.030
Karen McElfresh: maybe eventually. But here is the link again for the slides that has everything that I've shown you today, as well as Jesse's screenshots walking you through the app.

537
01:03:58.100 --> 01:04:00.375
Karen McElfresh: and it has all the links in there.

538
01:04:01.700 --> 01:04:02.385
Karen McElfresh: so

539
01:04:03.460 --> 01:04:09.840
Karen McElfresh: We are over the hour just slightly. I do see one question. Can you run this on a desktop or laptop? Yes, you can.

540
01:04:09.840 --> 01:04:10.620
Jesse Wilson: Yes.

541
01:04:10.921 --> 01:04:13.638
Karen McElfresh: So that's really a nice feature of this is,

542
01:04:13.950 --> 01:04:16.200
Karen McElfresh: yeah, you can use it on a browser.

543
01:04:16.867 --> 01:04:31.800
Karen McElfresh: So we are over the hour. So I am going to cut it off here. This recording will be posted most likely by tomorrow, and you should get an automated email with that link. It will also be posted to the training page.

544
01:04:31.880 --> 01:04:41.040
Karen McElfresh: Here's that link again. I will also post a list of all the questions that were asked across all 3 sessions. So if you want to review that, I'll make that available as well.

545
01:04:41.320 --> 01:04:52.370
Karen McElfresh: So thank you very much, everybody for attending, and if you have any other questions that you think of later. You can email them to ebooks@tsl.texas.gov. 

546
01:04:52.720 --> 01:04:54.480
Karen McElfresh: And we will see you in September.

547
01:04:54.740 --> 01:04:55.649
Karen McElfresh: Thank you everybody.

548
01:04:55.650 --> 01:04:56.900
Jesse Wilson: Goodbye.
