If you've never seen the OverDrive API in action, you can see examples
in the Marmot catalog (VuFind)
http://opac.marmot.org
If you do a search on minor adjustment beauty salon, you'll see
availability information for both their physical and digital versions of
this title, including OverDrive and OneClickDigital.
Here's a screenshot of the OverDrive ebook and audiobook versions of
Lean In:

The available one has a Checkout button and the other has a Place Hold
button.
I like the fact that Marmot has an eContent Source facet.

Not to derail the conversation from Overdrive support (which would be a
great thing to have) I wonder if anyone else would be interested in
OneClickDigital integration. They don't have a published set of APIs at
the moment but based on casual conversations I know they would be
interested in having similar functionality in Evergreen. This isn't
high priority for us but I'm curious is there is widespread interest.

Hi Ruth,
There is information on the Overdrive API at
https://developer.overdrive.com/apis. The basic idea is that you
would see availability information for Overdrive material directly
in the catalog rather than sending the user to Overdrive to see this
information. You could also allow users to do Overdrive checkouts
and place holds directly from the catalog.

I'd need a little more information about what exactly it would do.

Hi Sharon,
Funny, I was just thinking this morning of sending a similar
message to the listserv. We aren't working on anything with
Overdrive API integration, but, as I was beginning to plan for
FY15 development projects to consider (FY15 begins in July for
us), I added the Overdrive project to the list. I also would
like to hear if anyone else is working on it, but, if not, I
also would be interested in hearing if their are other
community members interested in jointly funding a project.

In July 2013, I shared out some analysis from Sitka
developer Steven Chan regarding the Overdrive API
integration that was available at that time:
http://markmail.org/message/dbkraxlsj562wxzh
In October 2013, Overdrive released additional Circulation
APIs and in January 2014, Sitka began development on
integrating those additional pieces. To date, we have not
been aware of any other EG jurisdictions working on this
development, but as it is taking longer than we
anticipated to complete, I wanted to check in with the
community again to see if anyone one else is working on
integrating the Overdrive APIs with EG, specifically for v2.6.
Thanks,
Sharon
