Re: [Koha] US librarians seeking help with Koha APIs
Hi James Im not clever enough to answer your question but have forwarded it to the Koha lists because you can't be the first to have hit this issue. Lets cross fingers simeone can help!

Colorado is working on a statewide ebook content management platform. That's well underway, but we've hit a snag in our attempts to integrate the product with a Koha-based consortium.

It's probably too late for us to find a magic solution to accomplish this by the time our grant is up, but I wonder if you might have some suggestions for programmers who do have that expertise? This is the perfect prototype for an international cooperation, and Koha is very definitely picking up speed here. I'd appreciate any leads you might provide.

The first thing we would need to know is what version of Koha are they running, because otherwise whatever answer we give will be wrong :)

Hi James, We are a Koha library in Montana and use Overdrive for our E-content. We batch load the E-records into Koha as provided to us from Overdrive. When a patron selects the Overdrive materials there is a link that takes the user to the Overdrive site to manage the down load. The authenticate with their library card and download the content. One unfortunate aspect of this action is that the analytics for this use is with Overdrive and not Koha for statistical tracking purposes. Hope this helps, feel free to contact me if I can be of further assistance. Lee Miller Library Director BSB PL Butte, MT lmiller AT buttepubliclibrary.info On 6/8/2014 2:13 PM, Chris Cormack wrote:
