Local holdings matter
When a nearby system owns a title, that local catalog signal is treated as a serious prospect even if the audiobook is currently checked out.
Library-First Search
Search once for library audiobook availability and best-value options
EarMarked Audio is built to show the listener the local library answer first, then explain the fastest or best-value paid path when the library copy is checked out.
- Library availability first
- Checked-out status stays visible
- Value intelligence and deep links
- Conference demo readiness
Checked-out is still useful
A checked-out audiobook is not hidden as a failure. It is shown as context, then paired with the clearest next listening option available.
Search coverage is monitored
The EarMarked pipeline now tracks underfill, provider health, cover safety, and EMV2 completion so search quality can keep improving without manual five-book batches.
