Week 9: Item 22

I read about and listed to the tutorials regarding Overdrive and NetLibrary. The Overdrive tutorial was much clearer to understand and a much more professional learning tool. NetLibrary needs to jazz theirs up a bit; I found myself losing interest in what the speaker was saying. While Project Gutenberg didn't have a tutorial, it was easy to navigate. I was particularly interested in the variety of books available in other languages, and I found a citation for a title in Mayan, edited by a French man--cool! Overdrive and Project Gutenberg are complementary sites as the former carries more contemporary, popular materials and the latter more literary and esoteric books.
