Possibility to expand the single line display to full record

Please add the possibility to expand the single line display for a title to full record view. This way I can browse easily through all titles and also get all information I need when I see an interesting title. Now I have to go to back to brief or...

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...

Ability to select titles and give total cost in Select Cart before ordering

We currently have the ability to select 1, 3, and Unlimited versions of ebooks from different vendors. It would be great to be able to calculate the cost of these in the Select Cart before we order them. This would help the workflow greatly, espec...

After moving a title into the Select Cart and ordering, a slip will still remain in my folder. I don't want it deleted right away, so that's ok. Once it's ordered and invoiced, the slip will say "Shipped" and I'll have a lot of those left in the f...

Include GOBI Technical Services specifications in an "Admin Dashboard"

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...

Library DDA sent search results need to include DDA platform selected in output

I use the Library DDA Sent search tool, but when I then want to output the result set, even with tab-delimited Full options, there is no column that tells me which platform among the three in our DDA profile is the one we actually got for that tit...
