[nabs-l] overdrive and one click digital

[Joshua Hendrickson]

Hi Ashley.  When I signed up for overdrive, I didn't have to do any
kind of catia.  I just logged in using my library card number, and the
last four digits of my library card number as my pin number.  I did
have to install the overdrive program on my pc which I'm sure you
already know.  That's pretty neat, you can check out 10 books at a
time.  I think I can only check out 4 or five.
