Evergreen supports integration with third-party APIs provided by OverDrive and OneClickdigital.
When ebook API integration is enabled, the following features are supported:
The ability to check out and place holds on ebook titles is an experimental feature in 3.0. It is not recommended for production use without careful testing.
For API integration to work, you need to request API access from the
vendor and configure your Evergreen system according to the instructions
below. You also need to configure the new open-ils.ebook_api
service.
This feature assumes that you are importing MARC records supplied by the vendor into your Evergreen system, using Vandelay or some other MARC import method. This feature does not search the vendor’s online collections or automatically import vendor records into your system; it merely augments records that are already in Evergreen.
A future Evergreen release will add the ability for users to check out titles, place holds, etc., directly via the public catalog.
