I attempted to download 3 different selections from Overdrive, all of which now show on hold but are not downloadable at this time. I will try the download process ...tomorrow maybe. Are these titles really in demand and not available I wonder, or is there a delay between choosing them and being able to download them? (Click on the screen captures at right to view larger.) I'm determined to access this particular feature of our catalog, since we want customers to use it and like it. To be fair, perhaps I should also select a print format, some music, and see if video downloads work as well. I mean, why not take it for a real test drive?Meanwhile, I can report that the browsing went well, selection was easy, and the genres were organized fairly well. I did have trouble finding general nonfiction though; probably just need to enter a keyword as we do in Millenium.

Hi, I am a trainer from OverDrive. The titles you requested are currently checked out, and you've added yourself to the waiting list. You'll receive an email when a title is ready for check out. Then you can return to your Holds (the screen that you have displayed), and you'll be able to check out the title.
To locate non-fiction titles, you should be able to use an 'Advanced Search' and set Subject = 'Nonfiction'.
I hope this helps get you started!
