  1. UCMS Digital Library Collection Established 2013-14

  2. UCMS had grant money to use for technology. • During 2012-13, we purchased three iPad carts with 25 iPads per cart, for teachers to checkout and use for instruction. • This year, we created a digital library using OverDrive. How did UCMS get so lucky?

  3. Our OverDrive digital library is a website that allows UCMS students 24/7 online access to a digital collection of eBooks. • http://union.lib.overdrive.com What is a Digital Library?

  4. An eBook is an electronic or digital copy of a fiction or non-fiction book. What is an eBook?

  5. Our collection currently has over 180 titles for students to choose from, as well as the classic books from Project Gutenberg. • This new service, powered by OverDrive, is free for our students. How many eBooks?

  6. Students can browse the collection, borrow with their user name and password, and enjoy on their computer, tablet, smartphone or eReader device. • Titles will automatically expire at the end of the two-week lending period. There are no late fees and no lost books! Free and Easy!

  7. For students to be added into the digital library, they will first need to take care of a few things. Sign Me Up!

Steps for Student Access

  10. Step 5: Students notify Mrs. Gain when they have successfully completed the DDL Course. (They can complete at their own pace at outside of school) • Step 6: Mrs. Gain will give the student a form to fill out at home, giving their device’s wireless information. Steps for Student Access

  11. Step 7: Students return the wi-fi form to Mrs. Gain. • Step 8: UCPS technology staff pick up the forms from UCMS on Mondays. By the following Monday, the student will have their DDL Card.  Steps for Student Access
