When troubleshooting issues on behalf of a user, is there a report available to help me gather the details of the borrowed item?
A user has a question about a specific device. Where can I direct him/her for an introduction and tips for use?
A user missed a hold that was ready for him/her, but never received a holds notification email. What happened?
If the user was recently issued a new library card number, the title on hold may have been associated with the old library card number. Contact our Support Services team via the Support tab in OverDrive Marketplace.
It is also possible the user’s email provider blocked the notification. Whitelisting the sender email address donotreply@overdrive.com should help ensure this does not occur in the future.

Statistical reporting for your digital library is available in the INSIGHTS tab of OverDrive Marketplace.

I recently issued a new library card number to a user and now he/she is unable to access holds and borrowed titles on his/her old card on the digital library website. How can we fix it?
You can merge a user’s original and new barcodes (library cards or other IDs they use to sign into your site) in OverDrive Marketplace using the Merge IDs tool under the SUPPORT tab. This will allow the user to retain their account activity from their original card (checkouts, holds, wish list, etc.) when they switch to their new card.
Please note: For reporting purposes, historical activity associated with the original barcode will remain associated with that barcode. Any activity after this merge will be associated with whichever barcode the user uses to sign into your public-facing website.
We recently made changes to our ILS and now users cannot sign in to our digital library website. Who should I contact for assistance?
