The Mosaic storefront is screen reader–friendly and designed with accessibility top of mind. Accessibility metadata, such as usage permissions, compliance levels, DRM status, and publisher restrictions, is now visible to help inform purchasing decisions.
Mosaic now displays clear messages in both search results and the cart when items are ineligible for purchase. Users can see why a title is unavailable, such as region restrictions or a required supplier contract, saving time by understanding availability up front. For resolvable issues, a call to action guides users on how to unlock ordering.
View inside the book before buying by linking from a Mosaic bibliographic record to preview pages hosted by configured suppliers. Preview links are available for most titles.
The Cambridge University Press catalog can now be purchased through Mosaic, giving libraries expanded access to high-quality academic content.
Use the DRM-Free facet in Mosaic to find digital content without Digital Rights Management restrictions. DRM-free titles provide enhanced accessibility and flexibility, allowing users to copy, fully download, and access content concurrently without limitations on the number of users.
Narrow search results quickly using facets like format, publication year, publisher, subject (LC or BISAC), and language. These filters allow for rapid refinement to help users find the most relevant titles with ease.
We've expanded duplicate alerting in Mosaic to include additional sources of library history. Libraries can now see alerts based on EBSCO purchases (firm and subscription) and holdings shared with EBSCO for upload. This history is visible in the Mosaic storefront and flagged at the point of purchase, building a more complete picture of library holdings and improving duplicate detection.
Users may access the corresponding print title in GOBI directly from a Mosaic record, facilitating streamlined discovery and purchase until the print edition becomes available for sale within Mosaic. Logged-in users will be directed immediately to the GOBI record, otherwise, they will be prompted to sign in.
Create private or shared templates to apply order details quickly and consistently. Templates support customizable fields and validation lists, helping libraries save time and reduce ordering errors.
Local order details in Mosaic are now customizable to fit your library’s workflow and apply to both individual orders and order templates. Libraries can pick and choose which fields to include, customize field labels, mark fields as required or optional, and apply validation lists. These details are visible in search results, order history, cataloging records, and invoices.
