What is OverDrive Advantage? OverDrive Advantage is: ► A collection development program for libraries
part of a shared digital collection or consortium. ► A way to create a unique collection available
exclusively to users at your library or branch. ► Available to any library with the ability to
authenticate users separate from the consortium.
