How to request subject updates for titles

Permission required: Create/view carts

You can recommend subjects for specific titles using the steps below.

  1. Sign into OverDrive Marketplace.
  2. Go to the title's details page in Marketplace.
  3. Click Recommend subjects (near the top-right corner).
  4. Click into the box below "Recommend subject(s) to be applied to this title..." or "Recommend subject(s) to be removed from this title..."
  5. 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
  6. 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.
  7. Click Recommend.

All subject recommendations are reviewed and (if approved) changed by a specialist at OverDrive within 14 business days.
