OWWL2go News

2011-06-20T16:01:00.003-04:00

There's good news for those of you who download audiobooks and ebooks from OWWL2go - you may now check out up to 4 titles at a time. In addition, you'll now be able to place holds on up to 4 items.

Remember, when a hold becomes available, you have 3 days from the time of the email to check out the title. It's a good idea to have fewer than your maximum number of items out so that you'll be able to download your hold when it becomes available.

I'm glad so many of you are enjoying this service. We're hoping to be able to offer a class on downloadables in the near future. Meanwhile, let me know if you have any questions.
