Hi Ruth,
There is information on the Overdrive API at
https://developer.overdrive.com/apis. The basic idea is that you would
see availability information for Overdrive material directly in the
catalog rather than sending the user to Overdrive to see this
information. You could also allow users to do Overdrive checkouts and
place holds directly from the catalog.

I'd need a little more information about what exactly it would do.

Hi Sharon,
Funny, I was just thinking this morning of sending a similar
message to the listserv. We aren't working on anything with
Overdrive API integration, but, as I was beginning to plan for
FY15 development projects to consider (FY15 begins in July for
us), I added the Overdrive project to the list. I also would like
to hear if anyone else is working on it, but, if not, I also would
be interested in hearing if their are other community members
interested in jointly funding a project.

In July 2013, I shared out some analysis from Sitka developer
Steven Chan regarding the Overdrive API integration that was
available at that time:

In October 2013, Overdrive released additional Circulation
APIs and in January 2014, Sitka began development on
integrating those additional pieces. To date, we have not been
aware of any other EG jurisdictions working on this
development, but as it is taking longer than we anticipated to
complete, I wanted to check in with the community again to see
if anyone one else is working on integrating the Overdrive
APIs with EG, specifically for v2.6.
Thanks,
Sharon
