overdrive cart - for selectors

I'm getting some great questions about ideas on ways to find titles for purchasing as libraries are spending the last of the ARPA funds.

I have created a cart in Overdrive called RTLWY last 1 month - pre-order titles filtered out. It's a list of titles that have been recommended by ALL Wyoming libraries in the last month. I could run it further back if we wanted, but it's harder to create a cart. It was filtered to not add any that are owned. (at the time I ran it)

You can sort the cart and see which are metered or oc/ou very easily and move them to a cart you want to order if you'd like. (I can show you how to do that if you've not done it.)

If you'd like a RTL (recommended to library) cart for just your county, I can show you how to run it or run it for you - it just takes a minute. You can set  it for a variety of parameters.

Have a great Wednesday everyone!
