I found some very uesful features and some not so helpful ones after exploring Overdrive. Overdrive offers audio books, videos, and ebooks. It is exciting to be able to pick a title while sitting at your computer and download it at once. Also, the audio books can be sampled which is very useful in deciding if you want to borrow it.
On the other hand, there is a waiting list for materials in Overdrive. It would be much more beneficial to be able to access the files immediately. Additionally, I'm not sure how often the ebooks would be used. Not many people want to sit at their computer screen and read long books. Short stories and reference books would be a good choice for ebooks. It is possible to burn the files to CD, but they can't be trasferred to an iPod which is a listening device that many people use. There are some flaws to Overdrive, but overall, I think as it progresses it will become a much used resource.
