Dear Library Partner,

At ALA in Anaheim, June 22-25, 2012, OverDrive will demonstrate our next generation digital library platform for lending eBooks, audiobooks, music and video. Based on your feedback, we’re continually working to streamline the user experience and reduce staff time to support your growing digital collections. Come to Booth #1362 to see how patrons and readers both inside and outside the library will be able to instantly read eBooks without installing any software, app or DRM activation!

In addition, OverDrive will demonstrate the next generation services for streaming audiobooks for use with all popular mobile devices. These innovations along with new OverDrive APIs will support deep integration with your ILS, discovery platform and your other mobile apps. Also at ALA, plan to see a demo of significant updates to Content Reserve that will deliver the most requested features to optimize the selection and management of your OverDrive digital media collection.

To schedule a briefing at ALA, please contact me at alaannual2012@overdrive.com. If you're not attending, please feel free to forward this to those who will be there.

We look forward to seeing you at ALA!

Sincerely,

Karen Estrovich

Collection Development Manager
