What are title assignments?
Note: Title assignments are only available for schools.
Title assignments allow you to assign any One Copy/One User (OC/OU), Metered Access (MA), Simultaneous Use (SU), or On-Demand Class Set (ODCS) title in your collection to specific students for a specified date range. Assigned titles don't count towards a student's borrowing limit.
In Sora, assigned titles appear in the "Assignments" section of the Home tab and on the Shelf.
Note: If your students are using the classic OverDrive experience instead of Sora, assigned titles appear on your school's OverDrive website under Account > Checkouts.
Once the assignment period ends, the copies are automatically returned to your OverDrive collection for others to borrow (unless they're ODCS copies, which expire after the assignment ends).
Lending model rules still apply to title assignments:
- Your collection must have enough copies to cover the number of users who will receive the assignment. (You'll be notified if more copies are needed.)
- Unassigned users may lose access to the title if their copy is needed to fulfill the assignment.
- CPC (Cost Per Circ) titles and magazines can't be assigned.
