During my prep periods today I was able to observe/participate in a meeting at the middle school with Deb, my practicum LMS and Matt Follett of Follett Library Resources, who is a regional sales rep and his region includes South Milwaukee. We discussed my future employment in Spring Green and who my contact for Follett will be. The majority of the meeting focussed on TumbleBooks, which Follett now distributes, and also includes TumbleTalkingBooks, and TumbleReadables. We compared it with Overdrive also, and one major difference is that Overdrive needs to be downloaded where the Tumbles are viewed online by logging in. Follett is also distributing new playaways which have double the old battery life and now have two slower reading speeds (5 total, up from 3). Matt said those were the two biggest complaints about the old playaways. We also discussed how Follett is coming out with TitleEasy to compete with Junior Library Guild.
