library history field - color code

Selectors don't always see the Library History field. Could you put it in a different color (maybe red?) to make it stand out more?

Show when a title is already in my GOBI Select Cart

In GOBI, when looking at a record, I want to be able to see if it is already in my Select Cart. I find myself putting titles into the Select Cart two or three times because of my library's workflows. I search for titles to consider selecting perio...

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

Include links to new editions

When a new edition is available, please include that link in the older edition. Other book vendors include this and it ensures we order the most current edition. especially if a title has changed.

Share new book covers with potential users

LC drop down searching so I don't have to know and enter LC classifications.

I want to be able to see a list of LC classes, click KF to open Law of the United States, scan down the list and click KF2971-3193 to open Intellectual Property Law, etc. Once I've narrowed down my LC class, I should be able to specify that I want...
