Overdrive

I had not looked at Overdrive since we had the training session on it last year. However, I was happy to discover that there were a lot of great titles to select. I ended up downloading the Overdrive software onto my computer and downloading a Web 2.0 subject book called Wikinomics.

I think this is the path that libraries will be taking in the future with their collection. The more that can be electronically accessible, the better. The biggest obstacle is educating library users and promoting access to the service. As well, it would be good to find a way to return the electronic books early, rather than be stuck with a title for two weeks that someone else might be wanting to enjoy.
