Head over the help.overdrive.com<http://help.overdrive.com/> to check it out—we hope you like the modern design, streamlined navigation options, and quick links to help resources for getting started, troubleshooting, and more. You can now also search through our database of help articles, videos, and compatible device profiles, all in one place. To learn more about the new OverDrive Help site, watch our 10-minute demo of how the site works<http://cc.readytalk.com/play?id=53oshu>–and then make sure to visit OverDrive Help<http://help.overdrive.com/> and experience it for yourself.

You can also learn more about this transition by revisiting Quinton’s detailed preview of the new OverDrive Help site.<http://blogs.overdrive.com/front-page-library-news/2014/03/13/overdrive-is-bringing-you-some-fresh-help/>

Just as a reminder, if you previously linked directly to any of our help articles from your own help materials, you’ll want to update those links, since all our help articles have new URLs.

We hope you and your users enjoy the all-new OverDrive Help site, and we look forward to hearing your feedback.
