Alexandria Library Introduces Digital Magazines, Using “Zinio for Libraries”

Alexandria Library is pleased to announce the availability of Zinio for Libraries. Awarded Best New Database of 2012 by Library Journal, Zinio is the world’s largest online newsstand, offering multi-user access to popular publications.

Through www.rbdigital.com/alexandriava/zinio patrons of Alexandria Library will have unlimited simultaneous access to read digital magazines, which can easily be viewed on most Internet-enabled devices inside or outside of the library. Zinio’s unique technology digitally recreates a magazine page for page, including full color pictures, intuitive navigation, key word article search and interactive elements such as audio and video. Consumer Reports, Good Housekeeping, National Geographic, O, The Oprah Magazine and Car and Driver are just a few of the popular titles available.

“We are proud to introduce Zinio to Alexandria Library patrons who like to take advantage of our digital resources,” said Alexandria Library’s Director Rose Dawson. “Whether a patron uses a tablet, smartphone or eReader, we believe that Zinio users will enjoy the interactivity for many of these online magazines, which print magazines don’t have the luxury of offering.”

Please contact your local Alexandria Library’s reference desk for more information on how to access this or visit http://www.alexandria.lib.va.us for Zinio digital assistance.
