OverDrive Updates - July 27th, 2017

Staff,

We are excited to share that the following updates will go live on our OverDrive-powered website the week of July 31, 2017:

• Reading levels (ATOS, Lexile, text difficulty, and interest level) will be added as options for filters and advanced search.
• Based on partner feedback, we’re updating the waiting list information shown before a user places a hold, and simplifying how we display the user’s position on an active hold on their Holds page.
  • Hold ratio information will only display on the details pages of titles with a wait list, to help users understand the wait relative to the number of copies in a collection.
  • On the Holds page, users will only see their "Holds position," which will show the user's place in the overall wait list (for example, #14 of 30 holds), plus the number of "Library copies."
• Title metadata will be updated to display reviews from School Library Journal and Kirkus (where available).
• Bug fixes and performance improvements.

If you have any questions, please contact the Collection Anywhere team.
