Did you know you can now create multiple, mixed-format Cost Per Circ (CPC) budgets in OverDrive Marketplace? This new feature makes it easier to facilitate book clubs and other school initiatives, fill holds quickly, leverage special funding, experiment with niche content, and more.

Unlimited mixed-format CPC budgets

What’s new with this release?

  • Set up unlimited CPC budgets. You’ll no longer be limited to one ebook and one audiobook budget, and you’ll receive separate monthly invoices for each CPC budget.
  • Choose the formats and title counts that fit your needs. Budgets can include many titles or as few as one.
  • Manage budgets efficiently. View all CPC budgets at once, or dive into a budget’s details page to see included titles, target budget, remaining budget, and useful data like title cost and circulation count.
  • Add titles while shopping. While shopping and searching the CPC catalog, easily add titles to new or existing budgets. If a title already exists within a CPC budget, the respective budget name will appear above the title’s metadata. Please note that a title can only belong to one CPC budget at a time.
  • Revoke titles as needed. You can revoke titles from a budget while preserving its settings, and schedule titles to be removed on different dates.

If your current CPC budget setup meets your needs, your settings won’t change. Starting this month and going forward, you’ll simply receive a monthly invoice for each of your CPC budgets. (For example: If you currently have both an ebook and audiobook CPC budget, you will receive a separate invoice for each instead of one monthly CPC invoice.)
