Albertsons Library has a credit with the ebook platform OverDrive from fiscal year 2021 that we need to spend, and we want your help to do it! If you are planning to do some reading over winter break, looking for resources for book circles or reading and discussion groups, exploring books in faculty interest groups, or wanting a selection of books on various topics to support students, please consider submitting a purchase request for the item.
To get started:
- Search OverDrive to see if we have a title you want to read (or listen to). This search will only show you what the Library currently owns.
- If you don’t find the book you want, fill out the purchase request form. Make sure to include the format (either ebook or e-audiobook) and we will try to get it for you.
-
- Need ideas on what to read? Search the main OverDrive site: https://www.overdrive.com/ or search WorldCat and include the links you find in your purchase request.
-
- When the ebook is purchased and added to our collection, you’ll receive an email with the link to the ebook.
OverDrive is the main ebook platform for popular nonfiction and fiction titles and ebooks can be downloaded on your computer or you can download and read/listen in the Libby app for either 7 or 14 days. Most OverDrive ebooks are 1-user at a time ebooks, and you can place a hold on titles that may be checked out. We usually only buy one copy of a book, but if you have a very large group reading the same book, we may be able to purchase additional copies. The OverDrive eBook Guide has more helpful information.
Please contact acquisitions@boisestate.edu or maryaagard@boisestate.edu if you have any questions. Happy reading!
