_**Note:** Not all libraries offer this feature._

When searching a library in Libby, you may discover titles that aren't in their collection. These titles will have a **Notify Me** button (instead of **Borrow** or **Place Hold**).

To share your interest in any of these titles, select **Notify Me** to set up a smart tag that alerts you if one of your libraries purchases it.

Here's how it works:

1.  Search for a specific title, author, or series.

2.  Scroll to the bottom of the search results screen, then tap **deep search**.  
    If your search has more than 100 results, you'll need to try a more specific search (like the book's full title _and_ the author's name) before you'll see this button.

    _**Tip:** You can also find the **deep search** button in the filters list by tapping ![filters icon](https://help.libbyapp.com/en-us/resources/images/libby/iconography/filter-icon.png)._
    
3.  In the updated search results, look for the title you're interested in.
    
    _**Note:** Some books have never been published digitally, and some digital titles may not be available for purchase by your library._
    
4.  Tap **Notify Me**. You'll be prompted to set up a Notify Me smart tag or use one you've already set up.

If one of your libraries purchases the title, you'll be notified and have the option to borrow or place the title on hold (depending on its availability).
