This extension will add an "Availability on Overdrive" listing to each GoodReads book description page and an "on overdrive" column to your bookshelf.

A search is performed for the title and author on Overdrive and each result found is shown. The number of available copies will be in green. If there are no available copies, then the number of hold requests / number of copies is shown in orange. A headphone icon indicates an audiobook.

Hover over each listing to see the title and author of the result. Click the listing to open the Overdrive search result page in a new window.

To get started, simply paste the URL you use to search your local library's Overdrive collection. You can also use Overdrive's search to find your local library's URL.

Note: Your library URL must contain .lib.overdrive.com. Many major libraries hide this URL, but you can usually figure it out by simply looking at the domain name. For example:

City Library ebook site Actual Overdrive URL
NYC http://ebooks.nypl.org/ http://nypl.lib.overdrive.com/
LA http://e-media.lapl.org/ http://lapl.lib.overdrive.com/
Chicago http://www.chipublib.org/ http://chipublib.lib.overdrive.com/
