GMLC, Listen Up Vermont, Overdrive, and Libby
We've got one digital collection, but it's know by many names. Here's a primer on what these terms mean. GMLC is the Green Mountain Library Consortium, which is the network of Vermont libraries that pool money to pay for our digital collection as well as other library resources. Listen Up Vermont is the name that GMLC gave to our shared digital collection when it only contained digital audiobooks. Overdrive is the vendor that has hosted our digital collection and creates apps such Libby for finding, listening to, and reading materials in the collection.
