Title: Using Overdrive to Enhance Physical and Digital Displays
Presenter: Amy Pinc, Triton College
Description: This webinar will provide a quick overview of what Overdrive is and how it works as part of the NILRC consortium. Most of the webinar will focus on creating physical and digital book displays and how at Triton College, we have used Overdrive for both. Triton library has been focusing more on book and subject displays as a way to get students, faculty, and staff interested in our collections and special topics. Because of Covid we changed how we did displays, making them available on our library website using LibGuides. When more in-person classes began this fall we wanted to offer more in-person book displays but didn't want to eliminate the online presence. We have since created digital collections in Overdrive that coincide with our physical book displays and those on the library website. We have used items in Overdrive to enhance both types of displays. This webinar will address the basics of overdrive as well as the creation of robust book and topic displays (reaching across college departments) that are viewable both in persona and online.
