    Spydus eVendor features in 2024R2

    Update references from Axis360 to Boundless

    Baker & Taylor previously provided eResources to libraries as 'Axis 360'. The name and branding of this service has been updated to 'Boundless'. References throughout Spydus in both the staff apps and OPAC have been updated to reflect this change.

    As Spydus has always allowed libraries to edit the descriptions of eResource vendors in the XDAP lookup table, this change may overwrite any custom Description previously entered by library staff for the AXIS360 code.

    Support new Beamafilm endpoints for title harvesting

    This feature is available to Spydus 10 libraries from W10.9I release.

    Beamafilm's previously available API endpoints provided no facility to authenticate which titles a library had licensed, so it was possible for the harvester to load titles that borrowers would not be able to stream.

    Beamafilm has introduced new endpoints to ensure that only licensed titles are harvested. This may require commissioning for libraries who already have the Beamfilm harvested configured.

    Please contact Civica Support for assistance as commissioning is required.  

    Add full deletion option to hoopla and cloudLibrary harvesters

    This feature is available to Spydus 10 libraries from W10.9I release.

    Due to issues with desynchronisation with licensed titles, an additional deletion mode option has been implemented for cloudLibrary & hoopla harvesters. For libraries that experience these issues it is recommend that this mode be run occasionally (e.g. monthly).

    Please contact Civica Support for assistance as commissioning is required.
