How to request subject updates for titles
You can recommend subjects for specific titles using the steps below.
- Sign into OverDrive Marketplace.
- Go to the title's details page in Marketplace.
- Click Recommend subjects (near the top-right corner).
- Click into the box below "Recommend subject(s) to be applied to this title..." or "Recommend subject(s) to be removed from this title..."
- Select a subject from the drop-down. You can start typing to find specific subjects.
Keep in mind that each title needs to have one of these top-level subjects:- Fiction (Adult)
- Nonfiction (Adult)
- Juvenile Fiction
- Juvenile Nonfiction
- Young Adult Fiction
- Young Adult Nonfiction
- Review the current subjects and your recommendations. Keep in mind:
- Important: If you're recommending a different top-level subject, you must also recommend the removal of the current top-level subject.
- Juvenile Literature and Picture Book Fiction are secondary subjects. Juvenile Fiction must be included as the top-level subject with either (or both) of these subjects.
Similarly, Young Adult Literature is a secondary subject, and must be added to Young Adult Fiction. - All subjects appear in the drop-down when recommending additions, but secondary subject additions are only approved if they match the top-level subject. For example, the secondary subject Horror can't be applied to juvenile titles.
If you have questions about top-level and secondary subject matching, contact your Account Manager.
- Click Recommend.
All subject recommendations are reviewed and (if approved) changed by a specialist at OverDrive within 14 business days.
