OverDrive Enriched Data

OverDrive supplies enriched data including: reviews, cover images, summaries, star ratings, samples, and other content. The enriched data is supplied via the OverDrive Metadata API. If your library has a license for OverDrive, you can enable the enriched content and then configure its display in the PAC product page.
