Digital Totes
by Devin Erlandson 07 Oct '16

07 Oct '16

Good morning! I am wondering if those of you who have experience with Digital Totes for your digital collections could drop me a line about your experience with them. Ease of use from the library's end and how patrons feel about using it would be especially helpful. We're continuing down the long road of getting our newspapers digitized and I'm currently looking at Digital Totes, but I was hoping for some feedback first. Thanks so much. -- Devin Erlandson, MLIS Information Coordinator Allegan District Library 269-673-4625 alleganlibrary.org
