Overdrive Advantage gives libraries the ability to offer popular title exclusively for their patrons. OverDrive Advantage libraries can purchase additional copies of popular titles that are already in the shared collection, as well as titles that are not yet available. There is also a one-time setup fee. Please contact Overdrive's SD Titles To Go account manager for more information.
Advantage Plus allows one to share some or all of the library's Advantage content with the consortium. Which titles that are shared depends upon the settings chosen by the individual Advantage library; libraries must set up Advantage Plus plans in Overdrive Marketplace to share titles. Note that when an eligible title is shared, all copies of the title will be included.
Shared titles will still belong to the Advantage member. Users of any library in the shared collection can borrow or place holds on these titles, but Advantage users will have priority for holds.
Titles with active checkouts or holds can be shared if the Advantage Plus plan allows it.
All reports will show that the shared titles belong to the Advantage member.
The South Dakota Titles To Go annual fee includes a platform fee and a content (ebooks and audiobooks) fee.
Individual titles are purchased using the participation fees allocated towards titles. Prices are set by the publisher and vary widely. Ebook prices are usually significantly less than audiobooks. Titles purchased are available to all participating libraries.
A 5-person volunteer selection committee selects titles. Content is purchased approximately every two weeks. Content budget is typically spent equally on audio and ebooks. All participating libraries may submit title lists to the committee.
