A breakdown of lending model ownership and availability will show for all titles as you browse and search the catalog or view titles in carts. Here’s a key of the abbreviations in use for each lending model:

• OC/OU = One copy/one user
• MA = Metered access
• SU = Simultaneous use

A Simultaneous Use plan consisting of 1,000 or more public domain eBooks from Project Gutenberg can be added to your digital collection at no cost. The Simultaneous Use lending model means that the titles will always be available for users to borrow (no waitlists) on your site. Titles in this plan will be integrated with your purchased titles, and they will never expire. To add the Project Gutenberg plan to your digital collection, visit OverDrive Marketplace and select Simultaneous Use under the Shop drop-down menu.

Titles will populate on your digital library website within 4 to 6 hours of submitting a purchase.

For direct billing arrangements, any user who will be submitting orders in OverDrive Marketplace needs to have the correct billing account selected on their user profile. This lets our Accounting team know which library/school should receive the invoice. All invoices are then routed according to the user that submitted the order. Therefore, a single user account cannot place orders for multiple accounts. If additional billing accounts need to be set up, contact our Accounting team via the Invoicing web form located on the Support tab in OverDrive Marketplace noting the name of the library/school, billing address, and name and email address of the person(s) to receive the invoices.

You can find the OverDrive W-9 Form in OverDrive Marketplace under Support > Quick help.

In order to have the purchase order included on the invoice, there is a special field that you can fill in when submitting the order in OverDrive Marketplace. When you click Purchase Cart on an order, a box will pop up that asks for Internal PO. Whatever you enter in that field will show up on the invoice in the “Purchase Order No.” box. The field is limited to 20 characters.

Content invoices are generally posted in Marketplace within 2-4 business days following the order, but are always dated the day the order was placed. Invoices are generated overnight and therefore cannot be issued the day of the order. If you have an urgent invoice request, contact our Accounting team via the Invoicing web form located on the Support tab in OverDrive Marketplace noting the specific date by which you need your invoice.

Please contact our Accounting team via the Invoicing web form located on the Support tab in OverDrive Marketplace with any special billing requirements. Please indicate whether this is a one-time exception or ongoing.
