I believe it is also possible to use "OverDrive Advantage" to maintain a private collection only visible to a specific consortium member -- I doubt those are limited the same way? 
Err, yeah -- not much of a fan of an ADE-only library system.  |
I think the Advantage program means that you have additional copies available to you beyond the consortium quantity.
My library cited another key reason for switching to 3M was that it is fully integrated with the Polaris catalog management system and Overdrive isn't. I can see the benefit to it after using it for a few months. I can log onto my library and see all book copies whether they are digital via 3M or paper at various branches. You also get more information about availability and hold times such the exact dates that items are going to be returned. You can check the items out and return them all within the library website without having to connect to 3M's website. The 3M apps & website doesn't have a wishlist feature, but my library website does allow me to create wishlists for paper and digital items.
