What is an OverDrive Group?

Some Key OverDrive advantages:

Who decides what's in the collection?

  • The school-library collection experts at OverDrive will maintain the collection. But…
  • We can add requested, book award, and other titles to meet member needs according to RILINK’s Selection Policy
  • The RISOCKS Committee works with RILINK staff and OverDrive to make recommendations for developing RISOCKS.

RISOCKS Committee

RISOCKS Committee members represent all education levels in public and independent schools. In conjunction with the RILINK Selection Policy, committee members will monitor title and format selections including suggestions and requests addressing any issues as they arise. Participating RILINK members can make suggestions and requests.

The Committee will have a rotating chair who will communicate with Rebecca Dluback, our Content Specialist at OverDrive.
