NFS Replacements: Not-for-sale titles that have holds. If an equivalent title is available, a copy is purchased, and holds are transferred.
Expired Titles with Holds: If the last copy of a title expires with holds still unfilled, an additional copy is purchased. Members are encouraged to purchase these for their patrons as often as possible.
Concurrent Use: For high-demand titles with large holds queues, concurrent use licenses are purchased, when available, to help quickly and cost-effectively drive down the holds queue.
Notify Me Tags: When interest in unowned titles meets a certain threshold, a copy is purchased.
Magazines: Overdrive Magazines subscription.
