How to Use the Collection

How can I order the ebooks on the CDLC?

If you’re a librarian looking to add ebooks to your collection, please use your usual buying system. We’ve included links to Overdrive, Hoopla, DeMarque (Cantook), Palace, and Follett, but you can also export a spreadsheet with a list of ebook ISBNs.

I am a teacher or school librarian, will the CDLC work for me?

Sure! Use the Overdrive link if your school uses Sora. If there’s a library platform that you’d like to see added to our link list, contact us (link to contact site).

How do I export a list?

You will find a "Download List" button on all title selections across the site, including categories, subjects, and curated lists. Simply click that button to download a .csv file containing basic title information (ISBN, title, author, etc.) as well as any available library purchase links for each title included in the selection you are viewing.

What is the Creator Identities filter?

As the CDLC is a public facing site, for the author identity category, we’ve asked publishers to work with their authors to self-determine identity. This category will always be fluid. Authors can ask to be removed from a category or be added or changed to another. All authors who are under the author identity category have self identified and we respect the wishes of each creator who has shared their identity as well as those who have chosen not to participate.

If you are an author and would like to share your identity with the CDLC, please contact your publisher.

If you are concerned about the information presented here, please contact us.
