| What do you get when you cross 2,400 school librarians and the world's leading distributor of digital content? Lots of excitement in the OverDrive booth at the AASL Conference in Hartford, Conn.! It was a busy few days with lots of exciting events and announcements: - The long-awaited debut of the school version of a very successful public library feature, Recommend to Schools allows students to browse the OverDrive K-12 catalog and tell their librarians what they want to read. Now school librarians can easily let their students drive collection development.
 OverDrive hosted a breakfast presentation featuring librarian Ann Terry from Frisco ISD in Texas. Ann spoke about best practices in engaging students and using digital content in your school.- Attendees were able to preview and explore the OverDrive Media Station for school digital libraries (coming in 2014). This interactive touch screen allows students and staff to browse the digital library from within the physical library.
- This year's show had a One Book, One Conference book discussion with keynote speaker Peter Bregman about his recent publication, 18 Minutes: Find Your Focus, Master Distraction, and Get the Right Things Done (available now for your digital library in OverDrive Marketplace).
OverDrive looks forward to meeting with school librarians in Columbus, Ohio for AASL 2015! Bailey Hotujac is a School Launch Specialist in Collection Development at OverDrive.  |
