Salutations!
There have been several requests for the return of the Monday ‘Minder, so I will do my best! I will also be recruiting ‘Minders from other staff. If YOU have an idea for a Monday ‘Minder, and would like to share, please let me know!
That said, I have 1 new tech trick and an “oldie, but goodie” ‘Minder to kick us off.
Today’s Tech Tip: Do you use Chrome, Firefox, or Brave as your default browser? Does it annoy you that whenever you click on a link in Outlook it opens in Edge—even tho’ you have already set a default browser? Or that it automatically opens Excel or Word files in a browser? Here’s how to fix it:

Currently, when a patron clicks "Support" on the Overdrive help page at http://dbooks.wplc.info/en/Help.htm, they are directed to an online form (http://www.jotformpro.com/form/2733758317) that submits to staff at WiLS/WPLC. However, WPLC will soon be discontinuing this option for patron support. The form itself won't be going away, but the results will no longer be directed to WiLS Staff. Instead, the submissions will be coming our way.
