About IDEA
The Idaho Digital E-book Alliance (IDEA) is a digital book collection made available to Idahoans by the Idaho Commission for Libraries (ICfL) through a contract with OverDrive. The collection is available through Idaho schools and public libraries. It is also available to Idahoans living outside of a public library service area.
More than 90% of the IDEA collection is children’s and teen titles. Continuing education titles make up the rest of the collection.
The policies for this collection are on our Policies webpage. The policies are “Electronic Resources Borrowing Policy” and “Electronic Resources Collection Development Policy.”
If your library does not have an OverDrive collection, contact Marina Rose. She can help you explore access options.
