A new OverDrive site is coming to you on
November 9th. The site has a
cleaner look with less clutter. You can
visit our current site for a
preview.
What will you see:
·
The site promises to be faster and
easier to navigate.
·
You will be
able to sign in with either a library card and PIN, an overdrive account, or a
facebook account. Because we have an Advantage Collection (where we purchase
material exclusively for our users), you will not need to choose the library
after the first time you sign in. Using
cookies on your computer or device, OverDrive will remember which library you
are using.
·
Browse
collection based on subject terms.
·
When logged
in, you can see what titles you currently have in your loans (borrowed), on
hold, etc., in the banner on top of the book cover.
·
The book
icon at the top of the page is a shortcut taking you right to your loan page.
·
Auto
complete is enabled in the quick search, offering suggested titles, authors,
etc, that begin with your first letters/words typed.
·
You can now
choose a lending limit from a "Borrow" drop-down menu on the item.
·
A
"recommend to read" list will appear after you place a hold,
displaying titles similar to the one on which a hold was placed.
As
always, if you have any questions about this service, you can ask for
assistance by sending an email to overdrive@valleylibrary.ca
