[OPLINLIST] Ohio eBook Project Open Enrollment

[Katrina Miday]

Apologies for the cross postings...


THE OHIO EBOOK PROJECT IS NOW OPEN FOR ENROLLMENT!


 

The Ohio eBook Project (OEP) is a consortium of more than 60 Ohio
libraries that have access to 18,000 copies of over 13,000 titles. The
eBook Project consortium allows Ohio libraries to provide digital
materials to their patrons at a considerable savings. All member
libraries add to, and share the digital materials collection.  In
addition to the Ohio eBook Project collection, patrons also have access
to the SEO Library Digital collection!

 

Formats offered include: eBooks in Adobe PDF, Adobe EPUB and Mobipocket
formats; audiobooks in WMA and MP3 formats; music; and video.

 

Patrons can download and use digital media at home, in the office, or on
the go with compatible mobile devices.  Downloads of audio and video
files are allowed within the library by using OverDrive Download Station
software.

 

Visit the Ohio eBook Project catalog at http://ohdbks.lib.overdrive.com
<http://ohdbks.lib.overdrive.com/>  to view the collection. The vendor
for this consortium is OverDrive, Inc., an Ohio company providing
downloadable digital materials to libraries throughout the world.   

 

Members of the Ohio eBook Project are required to: 

*         Contribute an annual minimum of 2% or $1,000 (whichever is
greater) of your library's collection budget towards digital content
purchases;

*         SIP/SIP2, Patron API, or RPA compliance is preferred but not
required.  Talk to your ILS vendor about upgrading and ask if any costs
are involved.  If your library is not compliant there is an alternative
authentication method, please contact oep at library.ohio.gov for more
information.

*         There is no longer a $1,500 setup fee!

 

More information is available at

31, 2011 launch, please contact Katrina Miday by Tuesday, June 14, 2011,
as all necessary paperwork is due June 24, 2011., oep at library.ohio.gov
