I've been doing this Zinio magazine checkout for ages now. Great service and free in Kilkenny Library.

Forgive me if I am jumping in without properly looking but I was able to register for the library online using the following link;
https://lgma.iii.com/selfreg

Once registered, I was able to register with the "temp" library card number to the rbdigital site;

As far as I can tell, I am currently browsing and reading the full collection. Currently having a read of Nat Geo Jan 2016.

Fantastic ! Just signed up and there are quite a few titles that would normally cost over €5 each in the shop - great spot d31boy!!

@d31b0y Great spot, thanks a lot.
Also, thanks to OP @bobbysands81

Maybe the thread title should be changed to "FREE Subscription to National Geo, Newsweek, World Soccer, Vanity Fair, Top Gear..."

I hate to grumble but the music choice is still pretty crap...
For Knitting fans it's the motherlode.

@d31b0y - thanks, this works perfectly. Have some magazines queued for d/l on my iPad as I type.

Also, I have a quick question if anyone could provide some insight - is it possible to view back issues of magazines on the iOS app?

You can,if you scroll down the page when you're checking out a mag you'll see a selection of back issues. You can check any of those out in the same way and you'll be able to have them delivered to your app.

There's loads of other great titles though to suit a wide variety of interests. New Scientist,Newsweek, The Economist are all there, there's good photography mags too.
It's definitely not a narrow focus selection or more suited to knitters or people with niche interests.

Is it only Zinio that's available through libraries country wide or have all the digital services like ebooks and audiobook online checkout been extended too?
Galway library page hasn't a word about this stuff.

Thanks OP, never knew about this! I now have a nice little stash of magazines to keep me amused on my flight next week!

One of the better BAs of all time for me.... thanks for the revised instructions!

Edit: still one of the BAs of all time but I had registered an account online by using the previous "method" (i.e. making up a 6 digit account number) to my local library in Pierce Street, Dublin. I was getting less magazines in total but different from the ones you get through this new, more legit method. E.g. Wired Magazine is not present in the new collection but was there with my membership to Pierce street.
Just an FYI...

The libraries are now doing ebooks too. Only a 287 book collection but I presume that this will increase. I was also told by the Dundalk library that they would hope there would be a way to order books.

FYI - the number of magazines on this seems to have increased recently - Uncut, Q, New Yorker, GQ amongst others now available.

Just signed up through Dun Laoghaire Rathdown library but don't see any of these titled which is a shame.does the selection depend on the library? Still a great selection all the same...

These services down for anyone today?

Or any reason why they won't open on my iPad on chrome or safari?
