Getting Reserve IDs from MARC records

With some integrations, it may be necessary or preferable to identify OverDrive content within a library's collection using MARC records. In these cases, identifying the MARC records that describe OverDrive content and isolating the OverDrive unique identifier (Reserve ID) for a given title is critical. The Reserve ID is a required variable for many of our APIs.

Supported MARC records include a unique Reserve ID for a specific title along with an "OverDrive, Inc." identifier in line 037. Specifically, this updated version of line 037 can be found in records from these suppliers:

• OCLC: Available from April 22nd, 2014 on. For historical records, vendors can pull the Reserve ID value and backfill using the 856 field link value after "ContentDetails.htm?id=".
• OverDrive MARC Express: Available from April 21st, 2014 on. For historical records, OverDrive can redeliver upon request. The 001 field can be used as a match-point when overwriting existing records with the updated information. Or your vendor can pull the reserve ID value and backfill using the 856 field link value after "ContentDetails.htm?id=".
• eBiblioFile: For historical records missing the updated 037 field, contact eBiblioFile for up-to-date records as necessary.
