I haven't been contacted yet, but I suspect it's because I have both high
school and middle school. I know we have the high school lists done and
ordered because I was on the committee. Did we ever find out if the
committees for middle and lower school made their lists for Overdrive yet?

Hi Carla,
Karlee Reader (kreader@xxxxxxxxxxxxx) contacted me about authentication
over the summer; you should probably email her to get started.

I never received anything about setting the account up or accessing the
titles? Where can I find instructions on this?

Hi all
Hope everyone's having a good start to the school year!
I'm not sure if anyone else has set up access to the new shared
collection, but I've given my students/faculty/staff access to it. I'm new
to OverDrive, but this is what I've discovered so far:
- The MARC records they sent were in horrible shape - has anyone
else experienced this?
- The subjects they have are set by the publisher and I wish we had
more control over that because some are quite vague.
- I haven't played around with creating collections - has anyone
done that?
- I don't like that access to the app requires them to not only use
their school issued login to authenticate, but they also have to create
an
account with their email address. It's just one additional step, but it
causes confusion among my students.
- Still not sure how we will be adding titles to the shared
collection - perhaps some of my fellow committee members know?
- For some reason, Diary of a Wimpy Kid was added to our shared
collection? Did we select that or are we seeing titles for the younger
grades as well?
Thanks,
Jessica
