Duke University Libraries has launched a new service, called Duke OverDrive, which lets students, faculty and staff download e-books and audiobooks to their personal mobile devices, including iPhones, iPads, Nooks, Android phones and tablets and Kindles. The Duke OverDrive service went live in May and currently offers 158 e-books and 132 audiobooks, all of which are searchable through the general Duke Libraries catalog. Faculty, students and staff with a Duke NetID can borrow up to five of the books at a time, and the books automatically expire after 21 days. Patrons can also recommend additional titles; the library will add the recommendations to its wish list for future purchases once funds become available.
