Bring back ECM search profiles

The ECM search profiles made is easier for us to find and purchase ebooks. We do not use GOBI, and the new "book ordering platform" is of no interest. Removing the search profiles will reduce our usage of the platform. I can't imagine why you woul...

No duplicate invoice numbers used
