What are your expectations wrt to the utilization of Overdrive?
I hadn't thought about it from that direction, but that's a very good point - I would be surprised to learn that very many public library systems have over 1/4 of their total physical collection checked out at any given time, but that is the case with Seattle's digital collection (about 28%, including ebooks, audiobooks, videos and music).
