Simon & Schuster Expands Library eBook Pilot to OverDrive
Simon & Schuster Expanding Library Ebook Pilot

This is the first time for OverDrive. Earlier pilots involved 3M and Axis 360. This pilot includes full access to S&S's entire catalog - both frontlist and backlist.

Check the list below to see if your library is included. So far, only half of the libraries selected have jumped in. Don't know who the other 16 are yet.

Simon & Schuster and OverDrive today announced a pilot launch of the Simon & Schuster eBook catalog for select OverDrive partner public libraries in the United States.

Simon & Schuster’s full catalog of eBook titles are available for pilot libraries to purchase for lending to their readers, or for readers to purchase through their library’s website with the new Library BIN (Buy It Now) option.

In an expansion of its existing eBook library pilot program, Simon & Schuster has selected 31 public libraries in the OverDrive network to participate.
Quote:
As part of Simon & Schuster’s and OverDrive’s pilot, each eBook purchased for lending can be checked out an unlimited number of times on a one copy/one user basis for a period of 12 months.

Alternately, patrons can purchase the eBook from the library website and support their local libraries. Simon & Schuster’s full catalog of frontlist and backlist titles is eligible for the program, with all new titles available simultaneous with publication.
