How IDC works
With IDC, users are able to create an account in PLS OverDrive using their mobile phone number. Users see a prompt on
the log-in screen of the OverDrive website and in the OverDrive and Libby apps. Users provide their name and mobile
number, and OverDrive looks up their address using a third-party service called Cognito. If their recent address matches
a zip code in the PLS service area, Overdrive issues them access using their mobile number to sign in.
About IDC Accounts
IDC accounts can be merged in the same way that accounts are currently merged through Overdrive’s marketplace. IDC
cards are good for 3 years. A customer can potentially have a library card AND an IDC account.
