[aisle] Ebooks

[Peterson, Sharon I. (OV)]

My district has used Overdrive in the past but recently made the switch to Follett so it effortlessly meshes with our Destiny  catalog system.  I don't think there is a big cost difference, as the publishers set the costs and the parameters of how patrons engage with the e-book or audio source.  They can be single use, or multiple use (very few this way), and they can be metered use.  It seems more and more that they are only selling the books for 12 months or 24 months, so you have to buy it again, especially since in these formats they don't need replacing.
