Overdrive: How to Search "Excluding" Children's Books?

Tom SKP · 05-25-2015, 09:57 AM

I use the OD Advanced Search all of the time for my genres, but get a lot of YA and children's books listed.
How can I use the OD Levels (Interest Level, ATOS Level, Lextile Measure, & Reading Level) to EXCLUDE Children's books???
Or is there another way to exclude those books for young readers?
TIA

Tom

Hi, Tom. I understand your frustration. Look in Settings under your Account. There is a field called "Maturity Level" where you can set it to filter out children and young adult books. There are 4 maturity groups that you can choose. I have mine set to from "General Adult" to "General Adult."

Wow, thanks! I haven't been back to the Settings page in ages, since I last set my loan times. Didn't know it had been modified.
Thanks. that will be some help

Next wouldn't it be great if we could exclude certain genres from search lists.
Thanks for your help!
