How to see the time or checkouts remaining for a Metered Access title
You can see the time or checkouts remaining for a Metered Access title in your collection using its ownership statistics or the Title status & usage report.
Using ownership statistics
- Sign into OverDrive Marketplace.
- In the Shop drop-down, make sure that One Copy/One User & Metered Access is selected.
- Run a search:
- To find a specific title, use the search bar at the top of the page.
- To see all Metered Access titles in your collection, click Advanced search, then go to the "Holdings" drop-down and select Owned as MA.
Tip: You can use the "Lending model" drop-down to select the Metered Access models you'd like to check, or use the other options in the "Holdings" drop-down to see only expiring or expired titles.
- In the results, you'll see an MA number under "Copies," which displays how many Metered Access copies of that title you own.
Note: Titles in the "MA: by checkout (concurrent users)" lending model will show the number of checkouts remaining as the number of copies you own. - Click the MA number to see the number of checkouts you have left or the title's expiration date.
Using the "Title status & usage" report
- Sign into OverDrive Marketplace.
- Select the Insights tab.
- Under Popular reports (on the left side of the page), select Title status & usage.
- In the "Title status and usage report options" window:
- Change the "Date" to Specific. Select a start date and end date to see only titles added to your collection for the first time during that period. Or, leave the start date and end date fields blank to see all titles added since the inception of your collection.
- In the "Lending model" drop-down, select the Metered Access options.
- Click Update to load the report in Marketplace, or click Create worksheet to export your results.
If you load the report in Marketplace, the "Report summary" at the top of the page shows the number of licenses (checkouts) left for all Metered Access titles in your collection, plus the number of titles that have 0 time or licenses remaining.
In the report details, you can see individual Metered Access titles in your collection. Titles metered by time show the date the last copy expires, and titles metered by checkout show the number of licenses (checkouts) owned, left, and used.
If a Metered Access title is expired or about to expire
You can manage expired and expiring Metered Access titles with these tools:
- Use Metered Access Manager to automatically compile lists or create carts of expired and expiring titles.
- Set up an automatic weeding plan to weed expired titles from your collection.
If you need help with either of these tools, or if you have other questions about managing Metered Access titles, please contact your Account Manager (whose contact information is listed under the Marketplace Support tab).
