Nuts and bolts: Merging your lending models in Marketplace

MergeLendingModels1

MergeLendingModels2Are you still searching for one copy/ one user and metered access titles separately? As a collection development analyst, I try to give little tips and tricks to accounts to help them more efficiently navigate their Marketplace account. Some of OverDrive's most popular content is metered for user checkouts. What does this mean for your collection? Adding metered access content into your digital collection gives your patrons access to two of our most popular publishers, Harper Collins and Macmillan (for non-consortium accounts), not to mention the time you will save when searching both lending models at the same time.

There is the option of taking the time to shop lending models separately, but Marketplace makes it easy for you to search within specific lending models with the improved Basic Search function. So in essence, you can select which lending model you would like to search under and merge your lending model preferences.

If you have more questions about metered access titles or merging your lending model preferences please contact your Collection Development Specialist or contact us at collectionteam@overdrive.com.
