SUMMARY:From Search to Stream: Connecting Patrons with Audiobooks in Hoopla
DESCRIPTION:This session is designed to turn your staff into audiobook 
 discovery experts\, moving beyond simple title searches to master the 
 nuances of the hoopla experience.\n\nWe will begin by navigating the 
 Midwest Tape dashboard\, the "engine room" where your collection management 
 happens. You’ll learn how to move fluidly through the site’s features 
 to manage your digital shelf and\, more importantly\, how to pull the 
 specific hoopla reports that reveal exactly what your listeners are 
 craving. Understanding these trends allows you to curate a more impactful 
 experience for your community.\n\nFrom there\, we’ll shift into the 
 patron’s shoes\, diving deep into the hoopla interface specifically 
 through the lens of an audiobook lover. We will explore advanced search 
 functionality\, genre-specific filters\, and those "hidden gem" features 
 that make browsing a breeze rather than a chore. \n\nTo ensure your team 
 stays supported long after the webinar\, we’ll conclude with a tour of 
 the Midwest Tape and hoopla Resource Center. Accessible via our Library 
 Blog\, this hub is your shortcut to troubleshooting FAQs\, submitting 
 platform suggestions\, and accessing marketing materials that help promote 
 your audiobook collection to the public. Join us to bridge the gap between 
 a vast catalog and a perfectly matched listener.\n\nPresenter: Ailisha 
 Pratt is the hoopla Customer Support Specialist.\n\nLearning 
 Objectives:\n\nNavigate the hoopla interface and guide patrons through 
 advanced search features to find their next favorite audiobook.\n\nPull and 
 analyze Midwest Tape reports\, transforming raw data into actionable 
 insights about your library's listening trends.\n\nExplore the full suite 
 of Resource Center tools and FAQs to confidently troubleshoot patron 
 inquiries and promote digital collections.\n\n \n\n**Register Here**
