One of the reports that I discovered in our webinar last week is that you can run a report and see where patrons are accessing the electronic content.

The data shows that staff familiarity with Libby is a good starting point since the majority of users do not access Enterprise to check out electronic materials.

Please feel free to adapt the instructions found here:
https://www.natronacountylibrary.org/digital-content-instructions/
It gives detailed steps for accessing digital materials on mobile devices (Android, iOS, and Kindle Fire)
and instructions for
Accessing digital materials on the black and white kindle (includes the Kindle, Kindle paperwhite, and Kindle voyage).

Where are patrons going to check out the electronic materials in the Virtual Library?
(these numbers are from the last 365 days)

Libby 60% - 185,019 Consortia
VirtualLibrary website 33% - 101,719 Consortia
API (Enterprise) 2% -  5,681

It doesn't add up to 100% because they can go directly to what they call "The Kids Reading Room"
https://virtuallibrary.overdrive.com/virtuallibrary-natrona/kids
Or teen reading room
https://virtuallibrary.overdrive.com/virtuallibrary-natrona/teens
or the magazine reading room
https://virtuallibrary.overdrive.com/virtuallibrary-natrona/magazines

Those make up the other 7%.

Thanks, Kate
