eMagazines

At the meeting yesterday we started talking about what magazines are available from the GC Libraries. Two services you may not be aware of are Zinio and Flipster - which are eMagazine content providers.  You can access them from the Online Library link on the catalogue. They are designed to use with a tablet or a computer and you will need your library card number and Pin to access these resources. Both can be used via a browser or through an App. Any of the library staff can help show you how to use these services if you need assistance.

I found 39 art/craft related titles on Zinio not including digital photography and sugar craft. Rather than going through the A to Z list (which I did!) you can filter by genre. Choose "Art & photo" and "Crafts" to get an idea of the range.  You are able to download issues to read offline which I find very useful on long flights, etc.

Flipster is a newer service and has a smaller title list, but is very easy to use and works well on most devices. One title of interest which is only on Flipster is Cloth Paper Scissors.

Happy reading!
