BookExpo America 13 Wrap Up

This past week, Team OverDrive attended BookExpo America (BEA), as well as the annual Audiobook Publisher's Association Meeting, IDPF Digital Book 2013, and the LJ and SLJ Day of Dialogue meetings. During these conferences, OverDrive team members participated in panels and presentations to librarians and publishers from around the world. We also met with librarians and publishers at OverDrive's BEA booth, while sharing the latest information about OverDrive Media Station (OMS) and Big Library Read.   OverDrive's BEA booth attracted a lot of attention thanks to hands-on demonstrations of OMS. These demos showed how OMS displays top-selling titles and provides access to one million eBook and MP3 audiobook titles in every genre. OMS provides retailers and libraries unprecedented discoverability, connecting publishers and authors directly with users.   It was also shared that, during Big Library Read, Michael Malone's 'The Four Corners of the Sky' was checked out more times than ‘Gone Girl’ and all three 'Fifty Shades' titles combined. In addition, it also was revealed that 'The Four Corners of the Sky' received more than six million cover image impressions. Michael Malone's following on Facebook and Twitter grew by more than 100%, and readers' interaction with 'The Four Corners of the Sky' on Goodreads exploded.       In the coming weeks, OverDrive will be at the American Library Association annual conference in Chicago, as well as the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) in San Antonio. Be sure to stop by our booths if you're attending!   Adam Sockel is a Marketing Communications Specialist at OverDrive
