[Koha] US librarians seeking help with Koha APIs

[Lee Miller]

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.
