WPLC selection policy
• Scope: broad, current and popular
• Criteria include– Identified, expressed, or
anticipated need in the general community
– Attention of critics and reviewers
– Prominence, authority, significance, and/or competence of author or creator
Step by step: Digital book by a local author
OverDrive Marketplace, aka Content Reserve
• Only two of the “big 6” publishers sells to libraries
• $1,000,000 statewide buying pool for 2012– Includes $300,000 LSTA– About 5% acq budgets– Still hard to keep up with
demand
If the book isn’t available in OverDrive’s Marketplace
• Because of technical and licensing limitations personally purchased eBooks can’t be accepted
• Authors with at least 10-15 published books can apply to be represented
• For authors with fewer books, OverDrive suggests working with an aggregator such as Independent Publishers Group
