Allow for multiple OverDrive accounts

The ability to use resource entities in Polaris to integrate econtent records in the catalog and limit views to only those who have access is something that Vega is lacking. Even though there is an API for overdrive, we have resource entities set up for records in our O'Reilly database and we want to keep these in the catalog. Vega currently doesn't provide any way to hide these records, and there is no API integration. Please offer this as a way to hide and separate access for consortia and libraries that want to keep their records in the catalog but also hide them from those who don't have access.

We would like to request this as well for consortiums. Our old ILS was able to integrate Overdrive into our OPAC even thought we had multiple Overdrive accounts. In our instance, we have over 15 libraries belonging to one group, and a smaller group of other libraries belonging to another Overdrive group. We were told, how it would work now, is the larger group would be able to access each other's Overdrive collection But the other group would each be entered separately and not be able to access the other group's items (almost like duplicated titles being entered for each of these libraries). It would be great if a patron could log in to Vega, and the system would automatically know which Overdrive group they belong to, and show those titles in Vega, so the patrons could then check out Overdrive titles, and also place holds on these Overdrive titles.
