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

I would like to make sure we own every book written by Nobel prize winners in all fields. Unfortunately, outside of the Literature Prize, Gobi doesn't reliably tag (with Approval notes) books that aren't necessarily themselves direct award winners...

Toggle between user accounts

When libraries have multiple acccounts and a user has logins for these mutliple accounts, rather than logging out and logging back in, it would be great to be able to toggle between the accounts.

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...

In addition to the existing ways to refine a search, adding a section for subject headings would be useful to quickly choose or eliminate items that are and are not relevant to the goal of the search.

Share new book covers with potential users

Sometimes librarians like to delegate selection of materials to discipline experts. It is possible to export a list and share. Would it be possible to create a more "catalog" style browse with covers where users could be invited to "select"? Libra...

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...

single-click request of multi-user ebooks for backlist titles not available that way

Often we want to be able to buy a license to a multi-user ebook for an older backlist title, perhaps a classic, perhaps just something that somebody wants to use in a course. I'd like to have an option to "request multi-user ebook license" where I...
