Changes to the Overdrive eBooks integration
Within Prism we have an integration with Overdrive eBooks (including eAudio) that allows users to borrow or reserve these items and see their downloads account directly within Prism.
Overdrive have introduced a change to their software that enables the end user to choose the format of the item they wish to read from the Overdrive interface after they have borrowed it, as follows:
1.When a full record is displayed in Prism and the user is authenticated, a ‘Borrow’ button is displayed:
2.Clicking this opens the Overdrive interface where the user can select their preferred format:
As before the loan appears in My Account> eContent and users can access it as many times as they wish during the period of the loan, choosing the format each time they access it.
Reservations are unaffected by the change. Users can also continue to return their loans from the Overdrive library as before.
This requires a Connect for OverDrive licence. Please contact Sales (lmc-sales@educationsoftwaresolutions.co.uk) if you would like more information about this.
Please review the preview version as early as possible, to familiarise yourself with the new functionality and to check the existing functionality (including other eContent providers), extensions and styling still work as expected.
It is necessary to use the prism-demo.librarymanagementcloud.co.uk/{your tenancy name} URL to preview a release, even if you have your own host name for the live service.
Prism will be released to live service on Thursday 6th January 2022.

As part of our ongoing programme of maintenance for Prism, we have updated our metadata required to secure the Single Sign-On feature as part of the Prism release on 29th July 2021.
Customers using SAML based authentication systems, such as Shibboleth, CAS or Open Athens, will need to apply our updated metadata to their systems.
Please download the updated metadata from the link below and ensure the encryption and signing certificates are updated on your Identity Provider before our existing metadata expires on 20th August 2020.
The new metadata is available online, direct from your existing Prism tenancy, as below:
https://prism.librarymanagementcloud.co.uk/<your-tenancy-name>/saml/module.php/saml/sp/metadata.php/default-sp
In the above, just replace <your-tenancy-name> with your tenancy.
For example, the metadata for the /birmingham/ tenancy would be:
https://prism.librarymanagementcloud.co.uk/birmingham/saml/module.php/saml/sp/metadata.php/default-sp
Please ensure you have downloaded the metadata and updated your systems before our existing metadata expires on 20th August 2020.
