- IPAD NEWSSTANDS IN PUBLIC AREAS\n\nWith so many periodicals available through the iPad, having a library café newsstand with them could be a pretty cool way for patrons to keep busy while sipping a latte. Even better, cases are available to protect the pricey devices from spills.\n\nNewsstand\nNewspapers \n

- PRE-LOAD IPADS WITH BOOKS FOR PATRONS TO READ\n\nWhether you use your own library's collection or the tens of thousands of free books offered through the iBooks store, pre-loading an iPad with ebooks and loaning it out can be a great strategy encouraging patrons to embrace the phenomenon. That way, they can enjoy reading a wide range of books, but won't have to make any changes to the apps, which most libraries have to block for security reasons when the tablets are loaned.\niBooks\nHeadphones belgian rockstar\nNook \nKindle\nStanza\nICDL\nhttp://oedb.org/blogs/ilibrarian/2011/5-e-book-collections-with-over-100000-free-e-books/\n\n\n
- EBOOK LENDING APPLICATIONS\n\nWith most large libraries now offering digital content to patrons, having an application that makes it easy to download an ebook or audiobook directly to a smartphone or iPad just makes sense. OverDrive Media Console is one such tool letting libraries and borrowers do just that, hooking them up with over 13,000 institutions around the world, from which they can download a wealth of material totally gratis — so long as they have a library card, of course. Reviews of the app have been glowing, and if your library isn't already in on the game, you probably should.\nOverdrive\n

With many businesses already using the iPad for training purposes, there's no reason it can't also work for libraries.\n

- Pinterest\n1.) Create Recommended Book Boards\nPinterest is a great visual tool which can help you draw in your readers, so why not set up boards of book covers to engage your patrons. Create separate boards for different book categories such as: fiction, non-fiction, young adult fiction, science fiction, horror, travel, most popular, recommended, etc.\n\n3.) Spread the Word About Author Talks\nIf you’ve got an upcoming author talk you might create a pinboard with information about that author such as the author’s book cover(s), photos of the author, links to interviews, biographical information. Or you may just have a “What’s New” or “Events” page onto which you pin their book cover.\n\n4.) Create Patron Contributed Boards\nA great social feature of Pinterest is the ability to allow others to contribute to your boards. I can think of a million boards you may want to ask patrons to contribute to such as; photos of patrons in your library, covers of their favorite books, book covers of titles they recommend – or would like you to purchase, etc.\n\n 5.) Have a Pinterest Board Contest\nEncourage patrons to create their own boards for summer reading programs, pins of books they want to check out, research or homework topics, etc. Have them each “follow” the library’s Pinterest profile in order to enter and award the best board a prize.\n\n8.) Give Patrons a Library Tour\nCreate a Pinterest board with an annotated photo tour of your library. Show off your new renovation, computer lab, or children’s area through pins. If you’re feeling adventurous, download the mobile app and take the photos with your iPhone and add location information to them.\n\n\n\n
- QR Codes\nhttp://oedb.org/blogs/ilibrarian/2011/a-quick-guide-to-creating-library-qr-codes/\nRed laser\nRedLaser\nCost: $1.99\nThis extremely useful app lets users scan just about any barcode and receive search results for low online and local prices from hundreds of thousands of retailers. It works particularly well for books and WorldCat has now integrated their catalog with RedLaser so nearby libraries with the item will also appear in search results.\n\n\n\n\n
