MontanaLibrary2Go - Recommending a Title for Purchase

The MontanaLibrary2Go collection is expanded each month through the work of the volunteer Selection Committee. Library patrons and staff may wish to request that the Selection Committee consider certain titles for purchase. These steps explain how to recommend a title for purchase.

1. On https://montana.overdrive.com/ use the search box to search for a title or author.

2. Scroll to the bottom of the search results page. Additional titles available for recommended purchase are under the heading “Didn’t find what you’re looking for?” Click “See All” to expand the results list.

3. Filter the results if desired by using the options in the lefthand column on the Recommend to Library results page.

4. All titles available to recommend for purchase have a black bar across the top of the cover image labeled “NOT OWNED.” Click on “Recommend” and then follow the prompts to log in (if not already logged in) and complete the recommendation. 

5. The patron will be given the option to be placed on the holds list for the title if the Selection Committee purchases it. Unfortunately, MontanaLibrary2Go does not have the budget to purchase all requested titles. 

6. If the desired title is not found in the MontanaLibrary2Go collection or in the Recommend to Library results, then unfortunately it is not available to recommend for inclusion in the OverDrive collection.

Please review the article regarding the MontanaLibrary2Go Materials Selection Policy if you have questions about how titles are prioritized for selection.
