Offer your users digital magazines and newspapers access fee free for a year
While meeting with our library partners at ALA in San Francisco last week, many were excited to hear about the success of one of our newest products, OverDrive Periodicals. To help spread the word about how libraries can offer digital newspapers and magazines on the same platform as their eBooks and audiobooks, we offered ALA attendees a special offer: sign up for OverDrive Periodicals
by July 10th and don’t pay an access fee for one year.
Given the success of this promotion we’ve decided to extend it to all of our partners. If you contact your Collection Specialist and purchase subscriptions to OverDrive Periodicals, we’ll waive the access fee for twelve months. This will enable you to provide your users over 1,000 popular magazines and newspapers including exclusive content from the Wall Street Journal, USA Today and The Washington Post. Libraries who have added this feature are seeing huge circulation increases with users coming back daily to borrow the latest issues of their favorite periodicals.
Contact your Collection Specialist today for more details on how to start providing this great feature and keep your users coming back to your digital collection day after day.
This offer is good through July 10th. OverDrive Periodicals are currently available for public and school libraries in the U.S. only
We are interested in this service. We currently belong to a consortium of libraries in Nova Scotia that are using OverDrive with great success. Periodicals are the next step for this service for our users. Can you provide us details on this offer as shown in the blog.
Hi Charlotte- be sure to contact your collection specialist. They can discuss further details with you.
I think OverDrive Periodicals is US only, since all of the content comes from Nook and Barnes and Noble doesn’t have the ability to distribute content in canada.
Hi Michael- That’s correct. We mention below the story that Periodicals are available in public and school libraries in the U.S.
