Overdrive Media now offers E-book downloads!
Click for Salisbury Library MVLC Digital
Downloads!
Take a digital guided tour of Overdrive Media
Audio books and e-books in the OverDrive Media Console™
format can be checked out and downloaded 24-hours a day from
the convenience of any computer or supporting device. Please note
that
digital downloads can be enjoyed at home, at work, or when you travel,
but are not for use on the computers in the library.
To access digital books at Digital Downloads from MVLC, you will need:
- A valid Salisbury (or other
MVLC library member) library card.
- Access to the Internet.
- Free software for the
computer and/or device on which you wish to use the material you
download. (Click here to review software
system requirements and
download instructions.)
Step 1: Download & Install Free Software
As a first step, you will need to install free software. Click here to
download OverDrive Media Console.
Note that upgrading or uninstalling OverDrive Media Console will not
affect any content that you have previously downloaded; all items in
your 'Media Library' will be maintained through either process.
Step 2: Activate Your Free Software
Before you use a title checked out from the MVLC Digital Downloads web
site, you'll need to activate the software that you
downloaded. You
only need to activate the software once for each machine on which
you'll use the material. See below for more on activation.
OverDrive Media Console
OverDrive Media Console utilizes Windows Media Player® 9
Series or
newer to play files. The first time that Windows Media Player attempts
to open a DRM-protected file, it will alert you that a Security Update
must be performed before the file may be opened. The update takes just
a few moments, and must be performed before Microsoft Windows Media
Player will allow any DRM-protected files to be played.
For more information on audio books, OverDrive Media Console, and
Windows Media Player, click here.
Step 3: Check Out, Download, and Enjoy
You can browse or search the MVLC Digital Downloads web site
for
downloadable materials. When you locate a title of interest, simply add
it to your bookbag and check out the title. For more information on the
checkout process, click here.
If a desired title is not available, you may place a hold on the title.
For more information on placing a title on hold, click here.
Once you have checked out a title, a download page will be displayed.
Click the 'Download' link to start the download. Once the download is
complete, you can close your Internet connection and enjoy the
materials offline.
You will never accrue late fees with titles you download from MVLC
Digital Downloads web site. At the end of the loan period,
titles will
expire and be automatically 'returned' to the library. At this time,
you can delete the expired file(s) from your machine.
