Oh--the consortium is done to save money--but it does complicate which books they order. They have to meet and decide which books to add. This is why I mentioned that you may need to check with your library about the best way to suggest a book for overdrive. It also takes longer. When I suggest a book, my library first looks to see if it is already in paper--the can mean it won't make the suggestion list. Then it has to be researched for popularity/reviews so that the information is available when presented to the consortium for deciding what books to order. My library has some discretion and can add some book on their own without checking with the other libraries. But, best sellers, for example are done in conjunction with the consortium so that there isn't too much overlap.
