Ohio eBook Project & SEO Library Consortium:

Downloading eAudiobooks onto your iPod

The Ohio eBook Project and SEO Library Consortium are sister sites that use the same software and function much the same. Both sites allow users to download eBooks, audiobooks, music, and video from current and bestselling authors. Both sites are compatible with a wide range of devices.

There are some differences between the sites, however. In order to log into the Ohio eBook Project, users must select “Clermont County Public Library” from the drop-down box and enter their CCPL card number and PIN. The Ohio eBook Project allows users to check out digital materials for 1 or 2 weeks.

In order to log into the SEO Library Consortium, users must select the second [select library] option, which reads “If your library is a member of The Ohio eBook Project Consortium, please select your library from the list below”. Users enter their CCPL library card number and PIN to log in. The SEO Library Consortium allows users to check out digital materials for 1, 2, or 3 weeks. The SEO Library Consortium also offers Disney Digital Books, which can be checked out and read on Windows and Mac computers using your web browser.

Make sure your card is active and that you have a PIN number.

Make sure your card is active. If it needs to be renewed, you can come into any Clermont County Public Library (CCPL) branch with your picture ID and something with your current address (if your picture ID does not have it listed). Cards need to be renewed every year to be considered active. Any fines must be paid down to $0.00 in order to renew your card.

Downloadable books will not show up in your regular CCPL account. However, if your CCPL account has fines at $10.01 or over, you will not be able to download any books until it is under $10.01.

How to determine whether a title can be transferred to a portable device:

Some publishers have restrictions on what you are and aren’t allowed to do with downloadable library MP3/WMA audiobooks. Most audiobooks can be transferred to portable devices, but not all. You can determine whether an audiobook from the Ohio eBook Project/SEO Consortium can be transferred to a device in two ways.

Ohio eBook Project/SEO Consortium Catalog Pages:

When searching the Ohio eBook Project’s or SEO Consortium’s catalog, there is a graphic below each audiobook title that shows you what you can and can’t do with it, as illustrated below:

Optional: Burning your eAudiobook to CD:

OverDrive Media Console: Burn to CD (VIDEO)

Some downloadable eAudiobooks can be burned onto CD-Rs. Because OverDrive WMA files have DRM protection, you need to burn audio CDs for library titles. Each part of a title requires a CD. If you copied the WMA files directly to a CD, it will not work.

How to determine if a title can be burned to CD:

Every title at the library’s website includes 'digital rights' which are assigned by the publisher. You can view the digital rights for any title to see if it includes permission to burn to CD.

1. From Ohio eBook Project or SEO Library Consortium…

o Click any jacket cover. A 'Details' page opens.

o Here you can view information about the title, including the digital rights.

[pic]

2. From OverDrive Media Console…

o Select a title.

o Click the Properties button.

o Click the License tab to see the permissions for the title.

[pic]

Be sure to respect the digital rights and destroy the CD at the end of the lending period.

Burn eAudiobooks or music to a CD

1. Open OverDrive Media Console.

2. Select a title and click the Burn button. The Burn Wizard opens, and the 'Welcome' screen is displayed.

[pic]

3. Insert a blank CD into the CD drive on your computer. Click Next.

4. The Burn Wizard searches for your CD drive. When the drive is located, the 'Confirm' screen is displayed.

Select the part(s) to burn. You'll need one CD for each part. Click Next. The selected parts are burned to CD.

[pic]

Then…

[pic]

5. When the burn is complete, the 'Success' screen is displayed. Click Finish to close the wizard.

Returning Titles using OverDrive Media Console:

You can return your library eAudiobooks early using OverDrive Media Console.
