A: January 12, 2011.
_Q: What is the URL for the website patrons use to search and download titles?_
A: [http://selco.lib.overdrive.com]
_Q_: _Does SELCO have anything I can use to craft a press release on the new service?_
A: Yes\! See [OverDrive Press Release for You|dnldaubk:/2011/01/06/OverDrive Press Release for You!] [dnldaubk:/2011/01/06/OverDrive Press Release for You!] for more information.
h5. Who Can Use It?
_Q: Who can access Downloadable Audiobooks content (provided by OverDrive)?_
A: Patrons with library cards issued by one of the participating Online Libraries. For a list of such libraries, please see the Participating Online Libraries tab on this page. For more information, see [Who Gets Access to Downloadable Audiobooks?|dnldaubk:/2010/12/07/Who Gets Access to Downloadable Audiobooks?]
h5. The Collection
_Q: How are titles for the collection to be selected?_
A: A Collection Development committee of Online Library and SELCO staff will be tasked with making selections. The committee's first meeting is on Wednesday, 11-03-2010. This question will be updated based on the processes established at that meeting.
A: A Collection Development committee of Online Library and SELCO staff will be tasked with making selections. The committee's first meeting was Wednesday, 11-10-2010 and they continue to meet quarterly.
_Q: What kinds of content can patrons use with OverDrive's Digital Library Reserve?_
h5. Searching and Downloading
A: Content accessible through this service include:
_Q: How will patrons access OverDrive content?_
A: There are two ways for patrons to access OverDrive content:
* OverDrive will create a [website|dnldaubk:/2010/11/09/Downloadable Audiobooks Website is Taking Shape] patrons can use to search and download the content available through SELCO.
* MARC records for OverDrive will be added to the SELCO Integrated Library System (ILS) and will be fully searchable via StaffPAC and the AquaBrowser online catalog. The MARC record will contain a link that takes patrons to the title on the OverDrive website described above.
_Q: How do patrons access OverDrive from their mobile phones?_
A: Overdrive's mobile website is easy to use on your iPhone, Android or Windows Mobile phone. All of the services can be accessed through an app on either App Store or Android Market where all searching and checkout functions can happen.
_Q: Can I limit my search to just items that are available on the website?_
A: Yes. In advanced search, choose a format, then check the box next to "Only show titles with copies available" at the bottom of the page.
!advanced search.jpg|border=1,width=429,height=311!
_Q: On my mobile phone, can I limit my search to just items that are available?_
A: Yes. In the Android and Apple apps, there is now an option to "Show only available titles". Enter a search term, check the box next to "Show only available titles" and click Go.
!199922_10150169438441942_152711106941_8066038_2236700_n.jpg|border=1!
_Q: Can patrons then download the content through their web browser?_
A: Yes, after jumping through one small hoop. Once a title has been selected, the patron will be prompted to download and install a small piece of software. Note that this only happens the first time that patron uses the service. After that, the software will automatically take over and download the content. The download process is pretty straightforward; the patron clicks a link and the software is automatically downloaded and installed.
_Q: If I have already downloaded the Overdrive Media Console to use with another library system (like Rochester Public), do I need to download it again to use with SELCO's collection?_
A: No. When checking out an item, it will automatically find the Overdrive software already on your computer and it will prompt you to open the book file with it. When looking at the Console, there will be nothing that indicates what library you have checked an item out from. The only difference you may see is a different banner at the top of the Overdrive Media Explorer when you have the book file open.
_Q: I saw a demo of how to download an e-book to my Nook. In the demo, the Nook automatically appears in Adobe Digital Editions when a Nook is connected. However, when I tried to connect my Nook, it never showed up in Adobe Digital Editions. What do I do?_
A: The Adobe User Forums answers this question fairly well. The instructions are slightly different for PCs than for Macs. The PC forum is [here|http://forums.adobe.com/thread/626420] . In short, on a PC delete the exisiting adobe.digital.editions file from Nook, using Windows Explorer. After the file is deleted, then unplug the Nook and plug it back in. After launching Adobe Digital Editions there should be a prompt to re-authorize the Nook. Once the Nook is re-authorized, the Nook will appear in Adobe Digital Editions.
On a Mac, the process is slightly more complex, but [The Adobe User Forums|http://forums.adobe.com/message/3369422] also has answers. In short, open the 'nook' drive that shows up on the desktop. Delete the 'Digital Editions' folder from the 'nook' drive. Next, open the Applications folder, then the folder called 'Utilities.' Open 'Terminal.' At the prompt, type 'cd /Volumes/nook' without the quotes and press return. Type 'ls \-al' and press return, all of the files in the nook folder will be available. Delete the folder called .adobe-digital-editions. To delete the folder, type 'rm \-fr .adobe-digital-editions' and press return. Exit and relaunch Adobe Digital Editions.
_Q: Can patrons use the service from public PCs in the library?_
A: Yes, but not just from any PC. The download software is associated with a single patron card number, which makes it impossible to use in a public setting. Having said that, there is software that allows a library to designate one PC as a public download kiosk for audiobooks that can be used by multiple patrons. For more details, see [OverDrive Download Station|dnldaubk:/2010/11/16/OverDrive Download Station].
_Q: You said that records for OverDrive content will be in the ILS. Where do the MARC records come from?_
A: For an extra fee, OverDrive provides MARC records for their content. SELCO will absorb this cost and will be responsible for adding the records to the ILS bibliographic database.
_Q. How can a patron tell a bibliographic record for an eBook or eAudiobook from a physical item?_
A: eBook and eAudiobook records have their own distinct format icon in the catalog that differentiates them from records for books and other types of materials. In addition, records for eBooks and eAudiobooks will have a note in the 300 MARC field that reads "Downloadable Content" along with a hyperlink to the title in our OverDrive page.
h5. Checking Out
_Q. Patrons are reporting that titles are disappearing from their Cart before they can be checked out. Why would this happen?_
A. Once placed in the Cart, a title is unavailable for other patrons. If the title is not checked out within 30 minutes, it is made available again. This prevents patrons from accidently tying up titles by keeping them in the Cart without actually checking them out.
_Q. What is the loan period on titles?_
A. Upon checkout, patrons may choose to have titles due in 7 or 21 days. While most patrons may choose the longer period, this system allows patrons who use a lot of titles to maximize their checkouts.
_Q. Can items be returned early?_
A: EBooks can be returned early, eAudio cannot. EBooks can be returned either through Adobe Digital Editions, through the Apps on mobile devices, or through the Amazon site for Kindles. For a set of instructions on returning ePub or PDF items early, see [this post from Arlington, Texas|http://www.arlingtonlibrary.org/staff-picks/did-you-know-overdrive-ebooks-can-be-returned-early]. For an outline of returning an item early using the iPhone/Touch, a nice overview can be found on [Arlington, Virgina Public Library's blog. |http://arlingtonvalib.blogspot.com/2011/05/return-epubs-early-wirelessly.html] For instructions on returning a Kindle book early, see [this slideshare from Wake County, North Carolina|http://www.slideshare.net/WakeCountyPublicLibraries/how-to-return-a-kindle-ebook-early].
_Q: What happens at the end of the loan period?_
A. The title becomes unavailable for reading/listening. The file(s) remain on the device, however, and must be deleted manually by the patron.
_Q. The title the patron wants is out. If they place a hold, how does the patron know when the item becomes available?_
A. The patron will receive an e-mail when the item becomes available. They will have 3 days to download the file.
_Q. Does OverDrive prevent patrons with fines and overdues from checking out eBooks and eAudiobooks?_
A. Yes, any block that will prevent a patron from checking out in Horizon, or login to a Pharos computer, will also prevent a checkout from Overdrive.
_Q. If a patron loses their card, how do they transfer holds from their old library card number to their new barcode number?_
A. Only Overdrive can transfer the holds. Please call or contact the helpdesk and we will transfer the information to Overdrive Support.
h5. Formats

_Q: Can OverDrive content be accessed via a website?_
Q: _Can this content be used with Kindles?_
A: MARC records for OverDrive will be added to the SELCO Integrated Library System (ILS) and will be fully searchable via StaffPAC and the AquaBrowser online catalog. In addition, OverDrive will create a website patrons can use to search the content available through SELCO.

_Q: Can I just unplug my device from my computer after transfering files onto it?_
_Q: Can patrons use the service from public PCs in the library?_
A: It is recommended that you disconnect your device, especially ereaders, from you computer by clicking on the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon in your system tray (by your clock) on your PC. If you do not disconnect it correctly, your ebook files or Adobe Certificate may become corrupted. If this happens, you may have to reauthorize your device.
A: Yes, but not just from any PC. The download software is associated with a single patron card number, which makes it impossible to use in a public setting. Having said that, there is software that allows a library to designate one PC as a public download kiosk that can be used by multiple patrons.
_Q: OK, I'm listening..._
A: OverDrive's Public Kiosk software turns one PC into a public station that anyone can use to download content. As this is a kiosk, the PC has to be dedicated to this function. OverDrive makes this software available as a separate product but has agreed to give each participating SELCO Online Library a license for no additional cost. Specifications for a Public Kiosk PC will be posted when they become available.
_Q: You said that records for OverDrive content will be in the ILS. Where do the MARC records come from?_
A: For an extra fee, OverDrive provides MARC records for their content. SELCO will absorb this cost and will be responsible for adding the records to the ILS bibliographic database.

h5. Reports
_Q. I would like to change the way one of these reports runs, or the results that are returned. _
A_.\_ The reports were created by Overdrive and SELCO Staff does not have a way to modify the reports. We're sorry.
_Q. How do I find out which of my patrons are checking out these items?_
A. While patrons can be searched for individually by barcode with the _Search Checkouts_ report, there is no way to run a report showing all of the patrons using Overdrive at an individual library.
_Q. Are statistics based on the patron's home library or by their barcode prefix?_
A. The statistics come from the patron's home library.
_Q. How do I get an account to run reports?_
A. Donovan's post of February 1 [outlines the process|dnldaubk:/2011/01/31/Calling All Reporters] for getting an account for reports.
_Q. On the Circulation Details by Title report when you click on view for a specific title, the last item is downloads remaining. What does that mean?_
A. This is per library card number -- how many times that card is able to download the title during their lending period. This is set per the publishers and the DRM for each particular title. If the patron needs to exceed that number of downloads, SELCO staff can reset that number.

Once a participating library has either attended or watched the video of OverDrive's _Browse, Check out and Download_ training, SELCO staff will be happy to conduct a roadshow visit to answer further questions and help staff grow more familiar with the service. Roadshows will include some sample devices library staff can use to gain first-hand experience downloading titles, if desired.
Available times for roadshows are limited so contact [training@selco.info|mailto: training@selco.info] with a proposed date if your library would like a visit. Please remember that the roadshows are not intended to replace _Browse, Check out and Download. _ Familiarity with the training is required before a roadshow visit is conducted. The earliest SELCO staff is available to provide a roadshow is December 16th.
