Unlike most of our e-book collections, OverDrive includes popular fiction, poetry, and juvenile works.

OverDrive uses an app called Libby for e-book access. Individual registration with your @uark.edu email address is required. 

Most OverDrive books can be downloaded to your ereader such as a Kindle for offline reading.

OverDrive books are purchased in several ways:

• as a perpetual purchase
• as short-term purchases that can be renewed periodically
• as metered purchases, where a book must be repurchased after a certain amount of use
• as open access collections from Duke University Press Classics and Taylor and Francis
