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...

Allow current List Price default view to change to my country's currency

I'm from Canada but all the prices display for me in USD by default. I'd like this to change, either automatically by GOBI recognizing my country based on my profile, or by me selecting it in my preferences. This would be a huge time-saver.

Total cost of items ordered per session

It would be good to have a total of the cost of books ordered per ordering session. This would be useful to Selectors who often have broad weekly/monthly expenditure guidelines.

When searching Selections or Recommendations ability to search by user's name

Add description of the book to data displayed

Please provide the publisher's description of the book so I don't have to check the publisher's website to get an idea of what's the book about.

Useful for librarians who prefer not to purchase titles in their subject areas by authors outside those disciplines.

Full text search of eBooks available to find the titles students need

I have often been looking for eBooks containing a particular concept and will not find a title using the currently limited search. I have needed to go to Google Books, search full text there, and then come back to see if the eBooks found are avail...

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?

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...
