Electronic resources at your Library

[rotuts]

many libraries have electronic resources

 

in MA  some individual libraries have electronic resources for e-magazines

 

I discovered that although my individual library does not have this database , the Boston Public Library does.

 

an e-card is free to any Mass  resident.  you just need a MA address.

 

they have the usual collection of cooking magazines and they are free to view , print etc

 

you can ' save ' a magazine's issue to your desk top and then click on the icons and the magazine opens.

 

you can even get an email when the next issue is available

 

here is an example for CI current issue :

 

 

check w your local library   if they don't have this maybe a larger library in your state does.

I love to use this service from my library, especially when traveling.  Before I leave home, I download an assortment of current issues to my iPad so I can browse through them on the plane or otherwise away from WiFi. Saves me the $$$ I would spend buying them at the airport gift shop!

I use the library resources for magazines (we offer 99) and the NY Times*.  In fact I just got a larger iPad yesterday, no need now to zoom in for fine print.  We also have The Wall Street Journal but I can only access the WSJ at work.

 

 

*I am assured we have access to the cooking and recipes but this remains to be seen and/or negotiated.

My city library system provides free access to over 400 magazines that can be read on my laptop or downloaded via the Zinio for libraries app (as shown by @rotuts above).  We also have PressReader and Ejournal Portal.  PressReader alone provides access to over 200 food and drinks magazines. There's also video streaming for Criterion Collection movies and tons of other resources.  I love my library and its staff (and all that makes libraries possible).

I went to our library today and got myself a library card.  They have both CI magazine and the N.Y. Times, both if which I'm interested in.  I can't seem to access them.  I'll go back so I can get a "lesson".

I was excited to learn I could get such things through my library, but in practice I mainly use it to view papers in academic journals.
