Don’t make my mistake and look for the next eBook in the Chief Inspector Armand Gamache series by Louise Penny while your preferences are set to audiobooks for Young Adults. They stay in place until you remove them.
Refining a search is also a good way to narrow results to a specific genre.īe careful – preferences are “sticky”. If I absolutely need one this minute, I can also set my preference or use the ‘Refine’ option to only list titles “available now”. That filters out children’s books and eBooks. By using ‘Preferences’ I can narrow search results to only display audiobook formats for general audience. I’m never without an audiobook, so I’m always cultivating my “to be listened to” list. Using the ‘Preferences’ feature makes those searches even more effective. But Libby has a lot of built in search features under ‘Explore’ and digital displays with elements that make it easy to discover new authors and titles. Yes, you can search for your favorite author or a specific book title. The broad and narrow search with ‘Preferences’ If you haven’t already, you can request that your check out history be turned on so you can view when logged into ‘My Account.’) (*There is a similar feature for physical materials. I have an “audio” tag to keep my “to be listened to” list separate. There is also a tag for a “to be read” list.
Combined with a ‘Tag’ (thumbs up or down), you can even mark if you liked it or not. * And your ‘Reading Journey’ indicates whether you finished it or not. Your ‘Timeline’ keeps track of your check outs. Many an avid reader has come in with a reading log – notebooks or even scraps of paper with what they have read and want to read. Timeline (combined with tagging) so you don’t have to remember So, whether you are a beginner or super-user, here are the three features I use all the time to find what I want now, figure out what I want next, and not check out the same thing twice. I’m famous for trying to show people just one more thing that makes Libby a useful tool even as they are walking away from the Info Desk anxious to go home and start reading.
When patrons first sign into Libby, those are the steps we focus on teaching – how to browse, how to borrow, and how to open the book to read (or listen). With the app, patrons can easily browse, borrow, and read (or listen) to free, downloadable library books. I enjoy introducing patrons just starting off with our Blue Ridge Download Consortium to OverDrive’s Libby app.
