Weekly Update—January 28, 2014

Preparing for 2.5: Round 2

Sign up now for the “Welcome to 2.5” webinars. We’ve selected 3 dates with a range of times; a recorded version will be made available for everyone who is unable to attend a live session. The live sessions are TLEU eligible. Collected Q&A will be made available on the blog. (Registration information is listed below.)

We’ve completed the testing phase of the upgrade process. Thanks to everyone who participated and contributed!

The system will be unavailable from 5pm EST on February 14, 2014-February 17, 2014. We will let you know as soon as possible on the 17th when we’re ready for you to begin uploading your offline sessions. We have made arrangements with OverDrive for that content to remain available during the downtime.

eIndiana Digital Consortium: Streaming Video

OverDrive is now offering streaming video as a format option for libraries. The eIndiana Digital Consortium will be converting to the streaming model on February 4, 2014. The list of available titles is expected to grow over time, so selectors are encouraged to check back for newly licensable content.
