OverDrive Statement Regarding Adobe Digital Editions
by Jim Flury 10 Oct '14

10 Oct '14

All, By now you've probably read at least one of the numerous articles that appeared earlier this week regarding library patron privacy concerns, OverDrive, and ADE (Adobe Digital Editions). Late yesterday, Thursday, October 9 OverDrive released a brief statement that includes a link to one of the original articles, as well as the Adobe response. There is not a lot here, except that the statement does note that it is OverDrive's understanding that the issue concerns ADE 4, which is not used as part of the OD app. I am sharing this on account there are many OverDrive subscriber libraries in Michigan. I don't know if this information will be helpful to you when it comes to answering questions from your patrons regarding this issue. TLN administers a 46 library, soon to be 47 with the pending addition of Flat Rock Public Library, OverDrive group known as Download Destination http://tln.lib.overdrive.com/ To that end I've asked Mr. Brian Potash, Account Executive at OverDrive, to draft a response to us in regards to this issue. He has said he will do so. We will continue to monitor this situation, and provide updates as they become available. http://blogs.overdrive.com/front-page-library-news/2014/10/09/overdrives-st… Jim Flury Jim Flury Technical Services Manager The Library Network 41365 Vincenti Court Novi, MI 48375 248-536-3100 x133 Fax 248-536-3098 jflury(a)tln.lib.mi.us

OverDrive To Enter the eMagazine and eNewspaper Business with NOOK Newsstand
by Jim Flury 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

All, A librarian at a TLN member library sent this link to me late yesterday (thanks, Cathy). Sharing this not to favor one vendor over another but rather, because there are many Zinio subscribing public libraries in Michigan, and many more OverDrive subscribing public libraries in Michigan. This is something to watch, not to mention something to keep in mind as a potential option when your library's, or your library cooperative's, Zinio renewal time comes around. http://blogs.overdrive.com/front-page-library-news/2014/10/08/nook-and-over… Jim Jim Flury Technical Services Manager The Library Network 41365 Vincenti Court Novi, MI 48375 248-536-3100 x133 Fax 248-536-3098 jflury(a)tln.lib.mi.us
