What’s the Student Requests cart in my Marketplace?

Have you noticed a "Student Requests" cart in Marketplace and you're not sure where it came from? Don't worry – that's just your students taking advantage of the new Recommend to School feature on your digital library website. As a student is browsing your digital collection, a book they want to read may not be available through your school's catalog. When that happens, students are able to search the full OverDrive catalog to find that title, and then at the click of a mouse, they can recommend that title to you for purchase so that they will be able to borrow the eBook from your library. Students are permitted to have a limited view of the Marketplace collection so they won't be viewing inappropriate content for their age and grade level. The RTL Manager (Student Requests) cart contains those titles selected and recommended by your students. This is an opportunity for your students to engage with books and communicate their interests. The cart is scheduled to appear on the 15th of every month by default, but this can be changed to occur more often. The cart is linked to your shared collection account (where applicable). The time, number of copies of recommended books (set to one copy by default), formats and other parameters are flexible for your Recommend to Schools cart. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact your Collection Development Specialist.   Heather Tunstall is Public Relations Specialist at OverDrive.
