A class set is short term rental of a title. You purchase as many copies as you need for everyone who will be reading the book, assign the length of time, and then after the time period is over, the book disappears from the accounts.

Here's how you can purchase a class set:

  1. You will need to have your OverDrive Marketplace login credentials 
  2. Log into OverDrive Marketplace and toggle the options to "SHOP Class Sets"
  3. Search for the title. If you're purchasing more than one title, you will have to purchase each one individually. 
  4. Click on a title to review the item record. Then select the lending model and click on "Add Class Set"
  5. Complete the steps to purchase the class set. Make sure that you purchase enough copies for every person that will be reading the title during the specified time period. 

More information about class sets can be found here: https://resources.overdrive.com/lending-models-class-sets-on-demand-class-sets/https://resources.overdrive.com/lending-models-class-sets-on-demand-class-sets/

Class set titles do not count toward the the total number of checkouts and there is no limit for the number of class set titles that can be checked out to students.
