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

[Rogan Hamby]

Not to derail the conversation from Overdrive support (which would be a
great thing to have) I wonder if anyone else would be interested in
OneClickDigital integration.  They don't have a published set of APIs at
the moment but based on casual conversations I know they would be
interested in having similar functionality in Evergreen.  This isn't high
priority for us but I'm curious is there is widespread interest.
