Digital lending platforms have had a rough couple of years. Some were bought out, some folded into something else, and some disappeared entirely.

Hoopla isn’t part of that story. Family-owned since 1989 and debt-free the whole way through, we answer to libraries, not private equity or Wall Street. That’s part of why we’re growing instead of shrinking.If you’re thinking about making the switch, we have a proven process for transferring your one copy/one user titles to Hoopla Flex—and it’s built to ensure that our team does most of the work. It’s also not all-or-nothing: you can move your entire collection or just the titles you want from your current platform, keeping the rest where they are.

How it works

  • Before you commit, we’ll tell you how much of your collection will transfer over and how much will need to stay behind. No surprises after the fact.
  • You’ll perform one quick export of your license inventory report from your current provider. We’ll even show you where to find it. 
  • We’ll handle the publisher paperwork. Publishers need formal notice that content is moving, so we provide the forms and manage outreach to publishers on your behalf, keeping you from chasing down dozens of individual notifications.
  • Your timeline, your call. Most transfers wrap up in a matter of weeks. If you have a specific go-live date in mind, we’ll plan around it.
  • We’re here to help you tell your community, and we can provide resources to make that easier.
  • We keep working after go-live. Any titles that don’t transfer right away stay on our radar. We periodically check for titles that become newly eligible.

Start building right away

With instant access to more than 2 million titles on Hoopla, patrons won’t experience a service gap while your transfer is underway. And as libraries start pointing patrons and title requests toward Hoopla, many also begin purchasing new one copy/one user titles directly, building out that part of the collection in parallel rather than waiting for the transfer to finish.
