“Checking Out” an Overdrive Ebook

“Checking Out” an Overdrive EbookOverdrive

can send ebooks wirelessly directly to your

LibraryAmazon account

• Tricia Bengel can authorize an “Educator’s Card” so you don’t have to check out public library ebooks on your personal card (currently for MNPS librarians)

• Noel Rutherford at Nashville Public Library sees no problem with putting library ebooks onto ereaders you loan out to students

“Checking Out” an Overdrive Ebook

Cataloging Your E-reader

Harpeth Hall uses one MARC record with six operating devices as “copies” on the same record.

Cataloging Your Ereader

Cataloging Your E-Reader

Cataloging Your Ereader

The Kindle record displays after a title, author or keyword search.

Cataloging Your eBooksSame record?1.Keep track of which eBooks are on what E-reader2.Catalog search for title or author will display E-reader3.No fake holds or fake barcodes to maintain

Separate record?1.More technically correct to have separate eBook record2.If eBook is part of book MARC record, can place holds by title…but have to match to device!3.Will have to assign “fake” barcodes to keep up with at inventory time

Circulating E-readers
