I don’t know what the reasoning for this is but it fills me with incandescent rage. Libby, what used to be OverDrive, changed how deep searching works so you can only search across catalogs if your search results are 100 titles or fewer. I don’t know if they utterly hate those of us that have non resident library cards, or if it’s too difficult to manage a global catalogue, but this is infuriating. Now I have to look up multiple libraries one at a time and it’s utterly ridiculous.
Deep searching is not available when the unfiltered search has 100 results or more.
Oh fuck you Libby! Maybe I want to spend my afternoon browsing your global catalog. I often browse by tags, which has 200 results or so after filtering but now I feel like I can’t even utilize my nonresident library cards effectively without having to waste my time and perform the same search across multiple libraries one search after the other, one search at a time. It’s utterly ridiculous. #Libraries
