Local Content in OverDrive Marketplace

Give your digital collection a personal touch while increasing your holdings and circulation at no additional cost by adding local content to your digital library website in OverDrive Marketplace! On the Local Content tab, you can upload new content or edit existing content for which your library has copyright, such as historical documents, local author interviews, community resources, and more.

 

Local content is supported in the following formats:

 

  • eBook: EPUB, PDF
  • Audiobook: MP3
  • Music: WMA
  • Video: WMV

 

eBooks uploaded in EPUB or PDF format will appear on your digital library website within 24 hours. All EPUB files will be added to a processing queue where an OverDrive Read version of the title will be created.

 

MP3, music and video files will be submitted via FTP to OverDrive for processing, ensuring they are optimized for viewing or listening in OverDrive Media Console.

 

OverDrive Marketplace users with high level permissions have automatically been enabled with the 'Local content' user right.  If you think you should have access to 'Local content,' contact your library's Marketplace administrator to enable this for your account.

 

For additional information, including steps to get started with local content, view the Marketplace User Manual located on the Support tab in OverDrive Marketplace. Please contact your OverDrive Account Specialist with any questions.
