The good news is that if there is a title you are interested in that is showing "Not in Catalog," you can request it by opening the title and selecting the "Request" button. There could be a few reasons for this: 1) The title is too new (or forthcoming) and is not yet available for purchase 2) the title is available for purchase but there hasn't been enough interest, or 3) the title has not yet been requested by a customer. "Not in Catalog" heading means that our library system does not currently own the license for the titles. What devices are compatible with the Hoopla app?
