Hi Joan,

Once we had the data privacy agreement, I worked with Overdrive/Sora to get our patrons whitelisted so anyone with a school email can login.  I've found their customer support really easy to work with.

Good luck,
Jessica

Hi Everyone,

I have a question for those of you using Overdrive or Sora in your school library. Do you enter student/patron names in Card Manager? I was originally told that I could not enter names because of CT PA-189 even though Overdrive is on our "approved technology" list. We are currently taking this opportunity to clean up our patron list, delete graduated students, and add access levels to patron records. These tasks would be much easier to accomplish with names in the records. Please share what you are doing in this regard.

Thank you!
