Hoopla Flex records should be included in Hoopla Ingests
We have both Hoopla Flex titles and Hoopla Instant titles. We're using the Hoopla ingest, but it doesn't include records from our growing Hoopla Flex collection. Our cataloging team has been looking at manually loading Hoopla Flex MARC records into our ILS. We had previously stopped manually loading eContent records even prior to purchasing Discover simply because it is so often a losing battle to keep records in sync. We'd be made whole if we could receive all of our Hoopla records through the ingest. Previously, we were waiting for Hoopla to update their API, but I’ve been informed by staff that at least one other discovery layer now includes Hoopla Flex records.

Being able to have our entire Hoopla catalog included in Vega Discover is ideal. We are adding more and more Flex titles, to help keep up with high demand. But now we are limiting patrons who are hoping to access available Hoopla titles through our website. Our patrons and staff are very excited with the idea of this being added - getting us closer to an all-encompassing catalog.
