Description

The Library Extension provides a number of configuration options to customize your experience.

Library Names

Users can choose how the library name links behave in the extension. The available options are:

• Library URL (default)
  Makes the library name link to the library’s home page.

• Catalog URL
  Makes the library name link to the library’s main catalog page.

Search

• Search automatically (default)
  The extension automatically starts searching when navigating to a page with an identified resource.

• Search on-demand
  The extension displays a search button when navigating to a page with an identified resource. This is useful if you don’t want automatic searches for every item across all your enabled library catalogs.

Icons

• Yes, show icons (default)
  Displays a small icon representing the type of item found (if known). For example, books show a book icon, audiobooks show headphones.

• No, I don’t want any icons
  Removes all item type icons from the display.

Results (Beta Feature)

• No, keep using the existing ‘best’ result behavior (default)
  The extension attempts to find a single, exact match for the resource. If multiple items match, only the first result will be displayed.

• Yes, I want all possible matches to be displayed
  The extension displays all matching results for the resource. This includes similarly named items and other media types (e.g., audiobooks, ebooks). Note: This can result in longer lists of matching items.

Media Types (Beta Feature)

This feature allows you to filter which types of media are initially displayed in results. Available media types:

• Audiobooks
• Blu-ray Discs
• Books (print, large print, etc.)
• Braille
• CD
• CD-ROM
• DVD
• eBooks
• Magazines
• Sound Recordings
• Videos
• Others (shown as “unknown”)

If no media types are selected, all items will be displayed. If any types are selected, the extension will initially show only those types. A button will appear if additional filtered items are available in the results.

Overdrive and Libby

This is a global setting that affects all Overdrive/Libby catalogs enabled for your account.

• Use Overdrive
  Uses the legacy Overdrive website for searching and linking to results.

• Use Libby
  Uses the newer Libby website for searching and linking to results.
