In the coming weeks, hoopla will begin reaching out to NC LIVE public libraries to see if they would like to integrate their ILS with the hoopla login process. This is so users will be able to select their library from the list on the hoopla login page, to create an account and login using their library barcode. After hoopla completes the login setup with public libraries, they will be reaching out to NC LIVE academic libraries, to add their libraries to the hoopla website. See below for more details.
Public Libraries- hoopla ILS Integration Form
For NC LIVE public libraries that do not have an existing hoopla account (hoopla instant), hoopla will be reaching out to you, and asking to fill out a "hoopla ILS integration" form. This is so they can validate your patrons and ensure only the patrons you want to have access, will have access to your library's hoopla account. They will be sending those documents out through DocuSign. You will need to fill in the appropriate ILS server information for your library and any other restrictions you would like in place (i.e. expired cards, fines over a certain amount, etc.) and sign off. Once hoopla receives the form and completes the authentication setup, hoopla will then enable your library so it shows up in the drop down.
NC Cardinal Libraries: hoopla has already worked with NC Cardinal staff on getting the server information and home codes for libraries within NC Cardinal. hoopla will be pre-populating this information on the ILS form for NC Cardinal libraries. All you need to do is fill in any other restrictions you would like in place (i.e. expired cards, fines over a certain amount, etc.) and sign off.
Academic Libraries
Hoopla will be reaching out to you in the next couple of months (after they finish public libraries). They will add your library name to the hoopla login page, so users will be able to select your library when creating an account. If your library does not use barcode authentication, they will work with you to create a custom message your users will know how to create an account and login.
