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.
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.
