Users of these LSPs will get simplified access to OverDrive’s collection, enhancing the discovery process. There are plans to add other content, such as magazines and Kanopy films and TV shows.The press release shares, “Through this integration, Ex Libris has added OverDrive’s MARC record feed directly into their ‘Community Zone,’ allowing libraries using Alma and Primo to easily activate OverDrive content within the institution’s ‘Institution Zone.’ OverDrive sends a regular feed of MARC records to Ex Libris, updating the catalog with titles currently owned by mutual customers. Users can discover OverDrive titles in Primo and are directed to their institution’s OverDrive platform, such as Libby or Sora to borrow and enjoy the content.” For more information, read the press release.
