Of these participants… <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>69% were unable to locate a download option (or a download option didn’t exist for that book)</li> <li>31% experienced found a download option but couldn’t get it to work</li> </ul> </li> <li>Around half of participants intentionally opt for <strong>BookReader</strong> for a variety of reasons: <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Its <strong>simplicity</strong> & convenience; no app installation required</li> <li>Many teachers <strong>can鈥檛 </strong>download on school computers</li> <li>Many patrons don鈥檛 trust downloads, dislike DRM, or want their reader privacy protected</li> <li>Some patrons have limited storage space</li> </ul> </li> <li>Around half of participants read for pleasure, the other half for some form of self-learning or research.</li> </ol> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="what-participants-said">What participants said</h2> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>~150 participants shared their praise, thanks, and personal inspirational stories</li> <li>~75 participants offered productive critiques for how we could improve our book finding and book reading experiences <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Fixing OCR, hiding menu bars while reading, zooming & scrolling, etc</li> </ul> </li> <li>~55 participants expressed concerns about “1 hour” lending duration</li> <li>Some participants did not like the intrusive, non-dismissable Open Library banner</li> </ul> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="how-we-re-responding">How we’re responding</h2> <ol class="wp-block-list"> <li>Open Library created a <a href="https://github.com/internetarchive/openlibrary/issues/7345">github issue for allowing patrons to dismiss news banners</a> and we have since implemented this feature to make announcements work better for the community!</li> <li>We heard feedback from the community loud and clear that the implementation of 1-hour loans may not always be ideal for all patrons. The Internet Archive has been exploring and prototyping various tweaks to lending, such as an auto-renewal mechanism, that could extend a loan automatically for a patron if, at the end of the loan period, the book is still actively being read.</li> </ol> <p></p> </div><!-- .entry-content --> <footer class="entry-meta"> Posted in <a href="https://blog.openlibrary.org/category/uncategorized/"
