Question
Thomas Ivie (WY)
I saw on the wiki a discussion from last year regarding Hoopla. I am as confused as ever on this one (database vs collection). Can anyone clarify for me? We have ask for "locally licensed electronic books." I want to say that if they can differentiate between movies, music, and e-books, then why not show count them. But the other side of my brain wonders if I should leave it alone because "database." Help

I’d say that if you can implement the new elements and folks can parse apart, then let ‘em show it.

I have no problem letting libraries count Hoopla downloads as circulations this time around, but for items purchased it gets tricky. Do they count each item a customer downloads as an item purchased (in the various categories), so that 1 book download = 1 book purchased, or should they just count Hoopla once as one purchased database? I'd prefer the former, but mostly want consistency both around the state and with what people are doing federally. Thanks!
