FAQs

I accidentally deleted my material from my device/computer before I was done with it! Now what?
If you accidentally delete your material from your device or your computer, you can simply sign in at http://nebraska.lib.overdrive.com, select “My Account” then “My Bookshelf” and download the file(s) again! For some titles this can only be done 3 times. The date that your materials are due back is not affected by downloading the files again.

Why can’t I check out the title(s) I want?
There are only a limited number of copies of titles held by the Nebraska Library Commission OverDrive service. If the copies are already checked out by other users they are unavailable for checkout until returned by those users. The status of a title (available or unavailable) is indicated in the upper right corner of the title picture. A black icon means the title is available, a grayed-out icon means that all copies of the title are currently checked out. You can place a hold on the unavailable title and you will be notified when a copy becomes available for checkout.

Please contact us at the library if you have any questions or need additional assistance!
