OverDrive Training

It was a pleasure hosting training sessions for OverDrive.
The service seems very easy to use from a patron perspective.

Here is the login information for Capital Area’s Virtual Branch website.

It is LIVE! Your library will soon put a link on your main website in order to provide access to the resource to your patrons.

To try the service at your library, if you are just sampling, please use the Always Available title collection for trying.

You will be able to check out titles using your own library card.

All titles will be returned to the collection prior to your site going live.

DIGITAL LIBRARY 101:
In Digital Library 101 we walked through the patron’s experience of browsing, selecting, and downloading titles. We also looked at a demonstration of burning a title to a CD and transferring to a portable MP3 / WMA device.
