The South Carolina State Library has expanded its OverDrive eBook collection to include library and information science titles. South Carolina library staff members may use their library’s borrower ID to check out and download titles from this collection by visiting http://scstatelibrary.lib.overdrive.com.  

To read eBooks, users will be prompted to download Adobe® Digital Editions. Titles can be enjoyed immediately or transferred to a variety of devices, including iPod®, Sony® Reader™, and many others.  Titles will automatically expire at the end of the lending period.

According to State Library Director of the Division of Information Strategies, Nancy Rosenwald, “The addition of this new, free professional eBook collection offers libraries across the state greater access to library and information science titles 24/7. Our eBook collection provides continuing education resources and broader access to research in the fields of library and information science, as well as information technology and management. By using this growing collection, libraries will be able to support on-going staff education with the newest publications while supplementing their own collections with ours. Using our eBook collection will also provide library staff the downloadable eBook experience requested by so many of their patrons.”
