This comment reeks of entitlement; literally everything you could do before is still possible at your local library. You can still check out physical copies of anything you like, now additionally you can also check out digital copies.
You really ought to “play footsie” with Libby; it’s a fantastic app that enables more people to have access to your library’s content than before.
Kind of insane to me that someone like you who knows the value of a resource like the library wants to restrict how people are able to engage with the content and therefore restrict who has access.
- JKCalhoun 3y ago> You can still check out physical copies of anything you like Are you sure? Went through UNO (University of Nebraska Omaha) catalog last week only to find that half (or more) of their offerings that hit my search results were online-only.
- Zetice 3y agoI suspect most/all of those offerings are as a result of specific grants or agreements between libraries or even Overdrive itself, that would not have existed absent a digital method of distribution.
- abwizz 3y agoi too feel entitled to get stuff from a public library w/o having to deal with a for-profit company. also drm-free media because i grew up with copying stuff from libraies (books, cassette tapes, cds, vhs ...) and imho this is still a big requirement.
