OverDrive

Libraries step into the age of iPod

A Reuters article last week discussed the fact that increasing numbers of libraries in the US are adopting new technology that allows patrons to download audio books, music and videos – yes, our very own OverDrive among others. It seems that the large RV population in the States (ie. the 'grey nomads' to us) are pretty excited about being able to access their libraries’ facilities online when they’re travelling.

If anyone is still a little unsure how OverDrive will work why don’t you check out their website at: http://www.overdrive.com/products/library.asp. Have a look at how the collections of other libraries in Australia are presented as well by checking out the ‘Partners’ on their site.
