“Recommend” feature comes to schools

Have you ever seen students in your classroom with a book they just couldn't tear themselves away from? Have you ever wished you could harness that passion for reading to get students more engaged with your digital library? Well now you can! This month OverDrive added the "Recommend" feature to the school digital library website allowing students to see additional school-appropriate content from the OverDrive catalog and recommend it for your collection. And don't worry, you won't be barraged by emails from students recommending title after title in their favorite series. The whole process is streamlined through OverDrive Marketplace where you can easily chart the Recommendations report by format, subject, or title. Even better, you can use the RTL (Recommend to Library) Manager to automatically build a cart of student-recommend titles for your review and purchase. We recommend that you invite your students to help shape your school's digital collection. Let them know they have a voice and that you want to hear it! Invite them to make recommendations, and reward their engagement by fulfilling their requests. For more, visit the Learning Center and watch the "Recommend Feature" training module, and download the PDF version of the presentation, or click on the tout on your school digital library website. Anders Brooks is a Training Specialist on the Knowledge Services Team at OverDrive.
