Lets look at another feature
If your library has the recommend to library feature you can browse and recommend digital titles in the overdrive catalog that your library doesn't own
I do want to note that when a title is recommended to your library
That's not a guarantee that your library will purchase it
And
Recommendations are format specific so you will want to make sure that you recommend the format whether ye book or audio book that you're interested in
Currently you can't recommend magazines through the recommends to library feature
If your library doesn't have the recommend to library feature
Talk to a library staff member about how you can suggest new titles
Turing a search term i'm going to ent
Epulman
Into my search bir
And then i'm going to select
Recommend to library
Under the availability filter
Idles in the overdrive catalog that your library doesn't own are added to your results
Now i see that
The secret commonwealth is not owned
I'm currently reading the bell sevage which is valium one of the book of dust series and i would definitely like to borrow the next book
So i'm going to recommend his
To tell which titles aren't part of the digital collection
E on to look for it not owned
Or recommended banner
Wyour tap recommend
To recommend the title
If your library buys the title you'll be added to its weaklist
A receive an email when your hold is available
You see the titles that you've recommended
Select the book ican
En recommendations
Your library may limit the number of titles that you can recommend in a given time period
And you can see how many more titles you can recommend
Or when you can recommend titles again
Here on your recommendations page
The final feature i'm going to cover is history
With your history you can see which titles you'v already read from a certain author or perhaps where you've left off with ha series
Your history page
Undermy account
Or the books icon
Shows all the titles that you've borrowed from your library's digital collection
You can also manually add titles to your history
Each title on your history page
Is mahart with the date
Of the loan or the date you added it
If you borrow a title more than once
As you just saw it will appear in your history multiple times
You ant the title to your history
To add ed title select the overflow menu from a collection or search results page
And then select
Eadd to history
Do you remove a title
Select the overflow menu
Ca remove from history
R
From your history page
The overflow menu here
And remove from history
If you remove a title that's listed more than once
A
All instances of that title are removed from your history
If you have any rated titles
You can add all of them to your history using the
Add rated titles button
If a rated title is already on your history
It won't be ated again
You can hide the history if you don't want to see it
And i'll talk more about this in the next video
I encourage you to try these features for yourself
