Has Overdrive changed again?

dandelioncottage · 07-03-2013, 01:31 PM

I've just checked Overdrive at several of my libraries, and it seems the filtering options have disappeared. I used to be able to limit my search to ebooks and then by Language, Publisher, etc.

Now when I look at Recent Ebook Additions, I only see see the 2 dropdown menus for Show Me (My Library's Collection, etc.) and Sort By (Added to Site, Most Popular, etc.)

No further filters appear underneath those two choices. Am I missing something? If this is a change, it's not a very useful one.

Yep, and it just happened within the past week, at least at FLOP. Very annoying. Looks like the only way to get specific results is with the advanced search feature. I rather enjoyed starting wide and then narrowing it down with the previous filtering options.

Well, I just logged into FLOP's Overdrive and the filters are back.

They saw my avatar and panicked. "Lucifer's Brat is unhappy! FIX IT NOW!"

If only I had that much power.
