Thing 11--Library and Reference

     I decided to delve into our Zinio app and see if I could do it well enough to explain to a patron.  One thing I have noticed is that you really need to go back to "your library" if you want to add another magazine to your list.  Otherwise you are in the Zinio site and they want you to buy it.  I am going to keep looking around until I can come up with a sort of workaround.  I opened July 2013 Consumer Reports" and went through all the control, sizing, skipping, I didn't try printing yet.  It was fun! 
     Now here is the best part.  Just then a patron came in looking for July 2013 Consumer Reports.  Our circulating copy was checked out so I showed her the year we keep in Reference.  She wanted to check the ratings on refridgerations and I said I was doing that in our on- line app.  I showed her how to get in, create an account and find the magazine. She was so excited! She said "now I don't even need to make photocopies!"  So I think covers the Library & Reference thing!
