- Approved applicants will receive an email notice of acceptance, which will include a private login ID and password to the Digital Library Reserve Collection Manager. A Digital Library Reserve account manager will contact you to discuss the nature of your website, the needs of your patrons, and to determine linkage of Digital Library Reserve inventory with your library site.
- As we move forward, Digital Library Reserve personnel will work with you toward the installation of a secure link from your online lending library download page to allow our DRM-enabled servers to deliver digital books to your patrons -- after they enter a valid library card number.
- We will work with your team to confirm proper operation of your website link and test all aspects before your site goes live.
