[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Update on Overdrive API integration

[Kathy Lussier]

Hi Ruth,

There is information on the Overdrive API at 
https://developer.overdrive.com/apis. The basic idea is that you would 
see availability information for Overdrive material directly in the 
catalog rather than sending the user to Overdrive to see this 
information.  You could also allow users to do Overdrive checkouts and 
place holds directly from the catalog.
