Add "Frequency" field in GOBI Continuations Bib records

There is no frequency metadata field in the GOBI bib records when you do a "Library Continuations" search (quarterly, annual, biennial, semiannual, etc.). Is there any way to make this data appear in GOBI Contins bibs in the future? Other book ven...

Default Ebook Setting

Our library is digital first so would appreciate a default setting to avoid having to filter to ebook for every title search.

Add publication year limitation for Notifications

When setting up Notifications, especially for "All Titles" users receive titles with older pub years and there is no way to limit by pub year. Adding a pub year limitation to Notifications would keep older titles out.

Allow "ebook only" limiter for YBP-US/UK Titles when setting up Notifications

When selecting "eBook only" for a Notification, the only universe options are "All titles," "My Library Slips" or "New Editions of my library's titles." This option should also be made available for "YBP-US Titles" and "YBP-UK Titles"

search titles within a folder in My Folders

Can we search just the titles in a folder? That would be handy. Did I already add this to my folder or not?

Ability to filter, sort, and/or search for titles with reviews.

We base many selection decisions on reviews and it would be helpful to filter searches/lists to include only titles with reviews. (Alternately, sorting reviewed titles to the top of the list would help.) Being able to add "has reviews" as an advan...

When an ISBN with hyphens is used to search, automatically remove hyphens

In ISBNs hyphens are often used (for example 978-981-19-7160-0). To be able to search by ISBN I have to remove the hyphens manually. With hyphens the result is 'No results were found'. It would be great if the hyphens were removed automatically (e...
