Increase cookie timeout for Eadmin

Eadmin forces a re-login far too frequently for those of us who are in and out of it several times per day. And often when it times out, it does so very badly, with a corrupted cookie that needs to be cleared in the browser settings before one can...

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?

Gobi: tag books written by Nobel prize winning authors in all fields, not just literature
