How do I add an Overdrive eBook or audiobook collection to display in WorldCat Discovery?
Applies to
- WorldShare Collection Manager
- WorldShare Discovery
Answer
- In Collection Manager, search for the OverDrive eBooks or OverDrive Audiobooks collection.
- Select the titles you have access to. See: Modify a collection to select your subset of titles.
- On occasion, you will have a title that is not in the existing collections. There are a couple of options:
- Option 1: Add the title to the existing collection within the Collection Manager interface. After you add it, other libraries that use Collection Manager will be able to select it.
- Option 2: If you don't feel comfortable adding titles to the global collection, you can create a local collection only visible to your library, and add your OverDrive titles to it.
- Make sure to also add your OverDrive Base URL under Collection Manager Institution Settings > Provider Settings.
- Test to ensure access links appear in WorldCat Discovery.
