BASICS

• See the Quick Start Guides for complete instructions. 
• Before downloading a book to your computer or transferring it to your eReader (unless you have a Kindle, NOOK Color/Tablet or type of Tablet or Smartphone), you will need to download, install and register the free Adobe Digital Editions software.
• If you have an iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Android device, Blackberry or Windows phone, Kindle Fire or a NOOK Color/Tablet, you can download an app that allows quick access to the eBook collection. Go to your device’s app store/market and search for Overdrive Media Console.
• Check out up to 10 titles at a time (7 or 14 days) and return them early [insert hyperlink to faq] if you want.
• Place holds and add books to your Wishlist.
• For answers to questions and problems visit our eBooks: Frequently Asked Questions Research Guide.
