We discuss a generalization of partitions, called overpartitions, which have proven useful in several combinatorial studies of basic hypergeometric series. After showing how a number of finite products occurring in q q -series have natural interpretations in terms of overpartitions, we present an introduction to their rich structure as revealed by q q -series identities.
