ListenAlaska now features flexible due dates and star ratings

You asked for it, you got it – flexible due dates! Now you can check out ListenAlaska audio book titles for either a week or two weeks. Music can be checked out for 3, 5 and 7 days. You can change the date at the time of check out or you can go into your My Account and select due dates to default to whatever period you choose when checking out.  To set up these default periods, go to My Account and then select Lending Periods.

Another new feature is the star rating. Once an item is checked out and during the loan period, you can rate it from one to five stars. As others rate the same item, an average rating will be displayed in the catalog record. To add ratings, go to My Account and then select My checked out items.
