Just last week we announced that Hachette Book Group, one of the world's leading publishers, has agreed to make its entire digital catalog of eBooks available to libraries and schools in the U.S. and Canada. Please reference our press release for more information about Hachette eBook availability via OverDrive.
We go live tomorrow (Wednesday, May 8), and we want you to be ready to add titles by James Patterson, Kami Garcia, David Baldacci, Sarah Zarr, Malcolm Gladwell, and many more. To remove some of the burden of wading through over 5,000 Hachette titles, the OverDrive team has done a preliminary sort for you. Just log in to the Content Reserve Marketplace on Wednesday, click on the orange cart icon in the upper right corner, and you'll find several carts of titles already prepared for you.
These carts include:
You'll also find several carts of nonfiction, broken down by topic. Hachette is still working on delivering all of their titles, so don't forget to monitor Content Reserve for more of their titles to become available in the coming days. You can find new content by using the Advanced Search. Check ‘eBooks’ on the top left, then choose a time period under ‘On sale date’. Here is just a very tiny sample of some of the hottest authors you'll want to buy right away:
Don't wait. Your readers will be so happy with your new purchases. Tomorrow's gonna be a great day!
