KLU Members can create an Advantage Library that will work in conjunction with the Consortium Collection at an additional cost. Advantage titles and copies are purchased separately and belong solely to that specific member library and can only be checked out by their patrons.
The initial cost of starting an advantage library is $250 in content. Please contact the consortium coordinator, Katie Justice for more information
The Database and Streaming Media services available through Overdrive marketplace should only be activated in Advantage Libraries.
Streaming Media uses a CPC lending model that works exactly like CPC ebooks -you set a Monthly budget and are billed for circulation at the end of the month
Databases use an annual subscription and you are invoiced for the full year at the time of activation
For your annual report you will need to add any non-shared copies to the consortium collection numbers (any titles you have shared with the consortium are already included in these numbers) You will need to add your numbers to the following:
K6 : Ebooks
K10: Audiobooks
K14: Video
