Boston eLibrary

As a Massachusetts resident, you can gain access to the Boston Public Library's electronic catalogs via their eCard system. But what exactly does you BPL eCard give you access to? Tons of stuff like eBooks, Periodicals, magazines, audio and video. A quick search on the eBook area I found titles like:

The Pocket Idiot's Guide to Italian
7 Steps to Fearless Speaking
52 Connecticut and Rhode Island Weekends
The Art of Project Management
Beyond Reality: A Guide to Alternate Reality Gaming

The depth and breath of the eBook area is awesome. The true beauty of this feature is the immediate availability of these books for you to read right now online.

The other area I'm really excited about is the audio book section with uses OverDrive Audio Book technology. Looking for one of my favorite authors, James Patterson, they have 21 novels that I can download and listen to on my pc or mp3 player.

So go ahead, check out the Boston Public Library and check out something today.
