Dear Library Partner,

Below is a summary of updates for your OverDrive digital library website that are scheduled for release on Wednesday, April 29, 2015.

 *   If a user borrows a title and the title has (or accumulates) holds, the user will no longer see a “Renew” link for that title on their bookshelf. Instead, they will see a “Request Again” link that lets them join the title’s holds list and borrow the title again when it becomes available. Note that this is the same way that the “Renew” link currently works for titles with holds; we are only updating the language.

We’re also removing the limitation that only lets users renew a title (or request it again) one time during their loan.
 *   Users will be able to assign star ratings to titles they currently have checked out right from their bookshelf. Users will still be able to rate any title from the title’s details page as well.

 *   A new “narrated” label will help end users identify which eBooks are available in OverDrive Read with narration:

On the title details pages for narrated eBooks, users will also see an audio icon next to the OverDrive Read format:

From here, users can click either the “narrated” label or the audio icon to learn more about narration.
 *   The “enhanced” label for enhanced titles will be updated to match the style of the “narrated” label:

 *   Maori language site translations are now available, in addition to the existing Spanish, French (Canadian), Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Russian, Malay, Finnish, Swedish, Italian, German, Danish, and Hebrew options. I will be happy to update your digital library website with any of these languages upon your request.
 *   Accessibility updates.
If you have any questions about these upcoming changes, please let me know.

Thank you,
