If you're looking for an old classic or something less conventional to watch, the InfoSoup holiday movie lists are the place to start. The staff at the Appleton Public Library has pulled together a great selection of traditional, non-traditional, and nonfiction movies. If you see a title missing or just want to share a holiday favorite, just let us know and we will add it to the favorites list. Take a look at:What's your favorite holiday movie? Tell us about it in the comments.

We
have some mostly good news about OverDrive. As OverDrive users know, this
service has not been iPod friendly. OverDrive has been working with publishers
to remedy this. Some publishers have recently agreed to make MP3 audiobooks
available through OverDrive and OverDrive now has a Mac compatible media
console. The good news is that we now have audiobooks available for iPods! The mostly part of the good news, however, is that only titles from a small number of publishers are currently available in this format. The bottom line right now is that our MP3 collection is small and limited. We are hopeful that OverDrive will continue to make progress with additional publishers and that we will be able to expand the collection of iPod compatible titles. When searching in OverDrive MP3 titles will be clearly distinguished and the Mac, iPod, and MP3 icons will be active. When the title is Windows only, those icons will be grayed out.

A
Mac/iPod FAQ is also available on the OverDrive
site. If you have any questions about this service, please add them in the comments, and we'll do our best to help you out.
