[eresources] Libby: New Search Features for Audiobooks and other updates

[Heather Hilton]

Hello!

Libby has quietly launched the following changes as covered in their blog<https://www.libbylife.com/2025-03-28-new-in-libby-search-updates-for-audiobooks-series-lovers?fbclid=IwY2xjawJXrmVleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHRbXAUvUNfnFu2KMCUCEaRGfJBh22iZm5l_7Opab_9q-ZUCkmCq7Jv04Ww_aem_RsZTaEJGbRQdIOLpkmK4YQ>:


  1.  You can now filter for the first title in a series or for standalone titles that are not in any series. [cid:image002.jpg at 01DBA3B8.FBD127E0]



  1.  You can also filter by the date that your library added titles to the catalog. [cid:image004.jpg at 01DBA3B8.FBD127E0]





  1.  You can also filter by audiobook duration! [cid:image006.jpg at 01DBA3B8.FBD127E0]



  1.  Libby no longer shows reading progress for loans on the Shelf when you have chosen to Read With Kindle





  1.  A number of accessibility enhancements to filters were added
     *   You can now modify how long a toast stays on screen. The default length of time before a toast disappears is 3 seconds ("normal notices"), but you can extend it to 30 seconds ("10x slower notices"). You can also disable toasts altogether. You can find this setting under Menu > Accessibility.



  1.  Revised translations for German

I wanted to share a feature in the app or on libbyapp.com<https://libbyapp.com/interview/menu#mainMenu> in the browser that many people may not be aware of. From the main menu, if you scroll to the bottom, there is a link to "What's New in Libby?". They note their new features and enhancements.

If you have any questions, please open a ticket at the Help Desk (Help at suffolknet.org<mailto:Help at suffolknet.org>)

Thank you!
Heather
