4. OverDrive: E-reading in the Browser
“As with other browser-based systems, OverDrive Read will enable publishers,
authors and retailers to benefit from more direct engagement with readers and to
gather data about how users are discovering, browsing and selecting
eBooks and catalogs through OverDrive global channels.” [Emphasis mine]

5. Demanding Better Ebook Services
• Search and browse a single comprehensive catalog with all of a library’s
offerings at once, including all e-books, physical collections, programs,
blogs, and donor opportunities. Currently, content providers often only
allow searches within the products they sell, depriving users of the
comprehensive library experience.
• Place holds, check-out items, view availability, manage fines and receive
communications within individual library catalogs or in the venue the
library believes will serve them best, without having to visit separate
websites (libraries, not distributors, should be enabled to manage all
interactions with users).
• Seamlessly enjoy a variety of e-content. To do this, libraries must be able
to choose content, devices and apps from any provider or from multiple
providers, without bundling that limits a library’s ability to serve content
they purchase on platforms of their choice.
• Download e-books that are compatible with all readers, from the Kindle
to the Nook to the iPad and so on.

19. Chicago: Where to locate a new library?
The new library inside the high school — scheduled to open in
2013 — marks the start of what could be a groundbreaking
partnership between the Chicago Public Schools and a public
library system that absorbed 50 percent of the layoffs in Mayor
Rahm Emanuel’s first budget.
The library cuts were so great, they prompted the January
resignation of longtime Library Commissioner Mary Dempsey.
The community library will have its own entrance, teen-only
space and public reading garden. It will be open six days a week
and staffed during school hours by city librarians working
alongside a full-time, CPS teacher librarian responsible for
ensuring that the library collection meets the needs of the IB
curriculum.
