Overdrive audio

Download Books & Music - highlighting a cool resource

By using the Nielsen Library Marmot Catalog, you can download books, music and video. Once downloaded onto your computer, you can listen to it on your computer or transfer it to your MP3 player (iPods should work). Some files may be burned to a CD, some may only be used on your computer or you player. If you don't own an MP3 player, the library has three players available for checkout to ASC faculty, staff, and students.

In order to use this free service, you’ll need a current library checkout account. You’ll also need to download two free applications: Windows Media Player and the Overdrive software. Links to both of these are available at the website linked below.

To explore this resource, you could start by visiting the front page of the Marmot Catalog and click on “Download Books & Music”. Or, go to directly to http://marmot.lib.overdrive.com/

Of course, if you search the Marmot Catalog you can search for Overdrive materials by limiting your search to Audio Book or Audio Music. Materials in this collection have a location defined as "Marmot Digital Library". If you'd like more information, contact Glenda at gmgeu@adams.edu or 587-7581. Enjoy!
