<<< Previous releases We’ve made it easy for you to save all those searches you use regularly on CataList! You no longer have to enter the same search terms or parameters every time you search for books, catalogues, or ISBNs. Plus, we’re also displaying more data on the Title Detail page to help you gain more insight into each book’s contents and availability.
We’re bringing new features to CataList’s search tools! You can now filter your search results by availability, product form detail and Thema codes. Publishers can also see a Loan Stars eligible icon for titles that librarians could recommend to be a Loan Star!

When you log in to your CataList account, click Saved Searches on the global navigation bar.
A pop-up with all your saved searches displays. If you haven’t saved any searches yet, simply start a search and click Save Search to try our new feature.
If you click one of your saved searches, it will automatically run that search. On the search results page, the name of the saved search displays in the left sidebar. If it’s an advanced search, the name will also be in the Advanced Search bar.
| Tip |
|---|
While you can save quick searches and advanced searches, any filtering that you apply to the search results using the options in the left sidebar won’t be saved. If you want those filters to be part of your saved search, you can include them in an advanced search. |
Manage your saved searches
You can make changes to your saved search by clicking Manage Saved Searches when you’re on the search results page or choosing a search to run. On this page, you can edit, copy, delete, or run a search.
For book, catalogue, and ISBN searches, you can edit both the search name and the search term on this page.
Edit an advanced search
You can edit the name of an advanced search on the Manage Saved Searches page, but if you want to edit the search criteria, you must use the Advanced Search Form.
To access the Advanced Search Form from the Manage Saved Searches page, click Edit and then click Advanced Search Form to be directed to the form.
Accessibility and Stock Availability details
Other new features that we’re bringing to CataList are accessibility and stock availability details. If publishers supply this data to BiblioShare, CataList will now display that information on the Title Detail page.
Accessibility – When available, accessibility information is included in a new section beneath the cover image on the Title Detail page.
Stock Availability – When available, this information is included in the new Stock Availability section, which is by default collapsed. Expand the section to see the following information for the title:
Distributor Name
On Hand
Stock Quantity
Discount Code
Price
Last Updated
CataList’s new Availability pre-set filter lets you limit your results to titles that are:
Forthcoming
Available
Temporarily unavailable
Unavailable
Once your search results return, you can use the refine tools to filter the results by the availability that is recorded in the title’s metadata.

Mapping Product Availability from ONIX 2.1 to CataList The availability data is pulled from the <ProductAvailability> codes in the ONIX file, specifically the codes in list 65. Learn more about how publishers can supply Product Availability data and how the codes are mapped into CataList. |
New refine tools
We have three new refine tools to help you limit your book results:
Availability – Filter your results according to the title’s Product Availability code.
Thema Subject – Limit by Thema subjects. You can select multiple subjects, and drill down through subject levels. (Learn more about Thema subjects from our blog post!)
Product Form Detail – Choose the product forms you would like to see in the search results.
Loan Stars eligible icon
Publishers can now see when a title is eligible for Loan Stars. If it is, the Loan Stars eligible icon will display in key areas of the site, making it easier for publishers to identify and promote those titles.
For more information about how Loan Stars can help your books gain visibility, visit the Loan Stars website.
The Loan Stars icon displays on the title detail page, catalogue thumbnail view, and catalogue scroll view.
