Your Library's E-book Results --- The Rankings! - Page 8

Is there a specific site that gives these numbers?

Fbone · 01-31-2011, 10:36 PM

Which numbers?

Overdrive usually has a "view all ebooks" link and we post the total here. It's a compilation of MR member posts.

If you know of a public library that should be included on the list (>5000 ebook titles), please post and I'll add it to the list. All very unscientific and just used for entertainment and bragging value.

I have no info to impart but was curious to know if the figures came from Overdrive or if each library posted their numbers somewhere on their site.

I had thought, too, that you seem to have some sort of an "in" with Overdrive to get the updated numbers directly or something.

kbrand · 02-01-2011, 12:12 PM

I wasn't sure if these numbers were total ebooks, or total overdrive entries.

Pike Peak Library in Colorado Springs now has 7474 total overdrive entries.
epub=1742
pdf=2009
mobi=305

the remaining are audio books

I just look them up like everyone else. I have the pages bookmarked and open them all up at the same time.

Overdrive won't even talk to me. I've called them but they don't talk directly to the public except through their blog. Their rep said for me to speak to my local library Director for information.

I count unique titles for consistency. Currently Pikes Peak's Overdrive has 3682 titles. A good number.

they just added a bunch sometime in the last week or so.

And all rubbish too except one that is the 3rd in a series where they do not have 1 or 2.

My library, Hennepin County MN, started out slow, but has come on strong as of late. We're now up to 5,500 titles, all ePub.

thaigreg · 02-07-2011, 11:07 PM

National Library of Singapore: 18,719

Brooklyn Public Library has had no new ebooks since December, I believe. I wonder if they had a lot of budget money to use up at the end of the year last year and this year they have no budget for ebooks?? They have certainly had big budget cuts.

Seattle Public Library

EPUB & PDF eBooks = 20,621
Mobipocket eBooks = 5,115

WMA Audiobooks = 10,775

Updated the list. We have 2 new entries. Singapore debuts at #4 and Hennepin sneaks in but I now have too many to list so will have to drop a few next month.

All libraries except Brooklyn added titles.

Cleveland moves far ahead of the pack.

>>All libraries except Brooklyn added titles.

where's the crying smily? Eventually I will need to get an NYPL card, but for now I still have lots of titles on my wish list and on hold.
