Prevent or allow downloads of OverDrive eContent on in-house workstations

Your library can prevent patrons from downloading OverDrive eContent titles to library workstations or opening checked-out eContent in the browser on a library workstation. If the OverDrive download: Enable on in-house workstations profile is set to No (the default), patrons will not be able to download or open checked-out OverDrive eContent on workstations specified as In-house for the PAC connection library (see Identifying In-House Computers).

To allow or prevent patrons from accessing and downloading OverDrive integrated eContent on in-house library workstations:

  1. Select Administration > Explorer and select the organization (system, library, or branch).
  2. Select Profiles under the organization, and select the PowerPAC tab.
  3. Select the OverDrive download: Enable on in-house workstations profile and set it to Yes to allow patrons to download or open checked-out OverDrive eContent on library workstations, or set it to No (the default) to prevent patrons from downloading or opening checked-out OverDrive eContent on workstations specified as In-house (using the In-House Access Definitions table for the PAC connection library).
  4. Select File > Save.
