First you need to configure the plugin with information about a library. Click the Overdrive icon and choose "Customize plugin". To add a new library to the configuration start by clicking the green "+" at the upper right and then fill in the details on the new line created in the table. At least one library must be marked as "Enabled" in the first column, click to change. Only enabled libraries are searched.

To perform a search: select one or more books, click the Overdrive icon, then choose either "Search for selected books" or "Search for books by selected authors". After a while the results will appear in a dialog at the lower right corner of the Calibre window.

Once a book has been linked using a search you can later select it and then click the Overdrive icon. A menu choice will allow you to go directly to the web page for that book at that library. (The book details panel at the right of the screen will also have the link, if you have book details enabled in Calibre.)
