OverDrive titles can be problematic when uploading to Converter Plus. This page goes over the current workflow with how to work around this issue, and will be updated as this feature is developed.

Navigate to the Add Book page from the main welcome page. On this page there are three sections:

1. Import Project
2. Sideload Book
3. Upload Book

See below for further instructions.

To Sideload a project for:

• Make sure you are logged in to NNELS.ca
• Navigate to the records page for the title you wish to download, or copy the URL from your assigned spreadsheet
• Copy the URL for the records page for that title
• Paste that link in the URL text box in Converter Plus
• Select Get
• You can now Import the book from the top of the page with OverDrive Metadata. See instructions below for more.

To Upload a file from your computer:

• Select Choose File
• Select the file from your computer you wish to upload
• Select Open
• Once the upload is complete, refresh your browser
• See Import Book with OverDrive Metadata section below for next steps

Once you have successfully Sideloaded or Uploaded your project, you can now Import the title with the OverDrive metadata.

To Import with OverDrive Metadata:

• Make sure you have refreshed your browser
• Navigate to the top section of the page with the heading Import Project
• Select the title from the dropdown menu labelled: Project
• Ensure "Use OverDrive Metadata" is selected. This is located directly below the Project menu
• Select Import button
• The title will start importing
• Once it is imported you will be taken to the main project page.

Here is a video tutorial walking you through the entire process.

You can now start working on the project. See Return to Renaming and Reordering Tracks for further instructions.

If you already have the project uploaded to your profile with the OverDrive Metadata, but you no longer want to use the OverDrive Metadata, you have two options to reset the project.

First option is to Remove the Project and Add it again:

• Remove Project by following the directions on the Remove Project Wiki page
• Upload or Sideload the project again
• Ensure the Use OverDrive Metadata is not selected. This is located directly below the Project menu
• Select Import button
• The title will start importing
• Once it is imported you will be taken to the main project page.

The second option is to reimport the project:

• Do not remove the book
• Navigate to Add a Book
• Select the title from the dropdown menu labelled: Project
• Ensure the Use OverDrive Metadata is not selected. This is located directly below the Project menu
• Select Import button
• The title will start importing
• Once it is imported you will be taken to the main project page.

Please note, this is a hard reset on the project and anything you have done up to this point on this project will be erased and you will have to start from the beginning again.

Here is a video walking you through both options.
