SAS Has OverDrive.  For the last three months the SAS Librarians have been working behind the scenes to make sure everything is in place to release OverDrive.   The wait has been a long one, but beginning March 3, we will be gradually releasing Overdrive to our SAS Pudong and Puxi Middle School Students.  The plan is to fully test OverDrive for the rest of the Spring with our Middle School Students and work to open it up to all our library patrons in Fall of 2014.  At present our OverDrive Library is small having only 67 ebooks and audiobooks, but as we fine tune the process the SAS Librarians have plans to expand the offerings as quickly as possible.

The SAS PD Secondary Library has already added the OverDrive Link to its Destiny Home Page.  The marc records have been uploaded.  Middle School student information has been put in place and we are almost ready to go live!

OverDrive is an eBook/Audio Book platform that allows library patrons to check out library resources and read or listen to these books using a personal computer or portable device (phone, ipad, etc) anywhere in the world.  There are some software packages that students will have to load to their computing devices and information and pathfinders outlining this process will be coming soon.  Next Week (March 3-) information links in the SAS PD Secondary Destiny Home Page as well as the SAS PD Librarian Blogs will begin appearing.  This will extend to SAS Puxi Middle School students after they have completed their Poetry Week.

SOOOO… WATCH for It.  OverDrive is here!
