[Publib] OverDrive Download Stations

[Abigail Goben]

Chris,

Here at La Crosse Public Library we do have Overdrive Download on all of our
public workstations so there isn't an issue with internet vs. Overdrive
usage.  The stations refresh and clear the drive every time someone logs in,
so we don't have an issue of a second patron downloading.  We don't have
Itunes as yet, but it's something I'll pass on to our tech people, it makes
sense to offer.  We do not offer USB cables, but we do have some circulating
flash drives so if necessary someone could put a book on a flash and bring
the flash back.

I assume you've seen the modification from Overdrive that's supposed to be
coming this summer to allow their DRM to work with Itunes?  I hope that
works, it will make like so much easier.

:) Cheers
Abigail
