New and updated reports

CataList now allows publishers to enable a reading copy request feature which will allow publishers to optionally enable retailers, librarians, media or other account types to request advance reading copies of their forthcoming titles.

CataList’s role is to enable the conversation between readers and reps through use of a request form triggered through title or catalogue views, based on permissions set by the publisher.

The Missing Cover Images report is a new addition to the reports list. Running this report returns a list of books associated with your account which have no cover images stores in either BiblioShare or CataList.

Click on any linked ISBN to add a cover image in CataList only, or better yet, send the image to BiblioShare where other downstream data recipients can access it. Find more information on supplying images to BiblioShare here.

Click the Request from Publisher option to open the form where requesters can supply their contact information and other details such as their preferred reading format. The system remembers the address and job title information that readers enter to minimize effort on future requests, and an optional text box allows requesters to supply additional supporting information to persuade a publisher to send out an advance reading copy.

The form clarifies that provision of reading copies is based on availability and is at the discretion of the publisher.

Submitting the request generates an email to the publisher-provided contact, with a CC to the requester.

If reading copies are available, the publisher can then supply to the requester using their existing galley fulfillment tools or communicate availability details to the requester directly.

In this release, we’ve added new search features to help you find accessible digital products, such as ebooks, in CataList. You can also filter your search results to return titles with the specific accessibility features that meet your needs or preferences.

In the Advanced Search form, use the new “Accessible products” checkbox to search for titles that include accessibility details.

Info

Publishers: Accessibility details can be provided in your ONIX 2.1 and 3.0 files using the code type ‘09’ in <ProductFormFeatureType>, and supplying in <ProductFormFeatureValue> the applicable accessibility features using code values in List 196: E-publication Accessibility Details.

Image Added

If your search results include any titles that provide accessibility details, you will see the Accessibility filter display in the left sidebar. You can expand the Accessibility filter by clicking the + symbol to see the types of accessibility data available.

The accessibility data points are grouped into categories for your convenience.

  • Accessibility features - The majority of specific features for accessible experience will be listed in this category.

  • Compliance and certification - If you are looking for products that have passed specific certification, you can see more detailed compliance details in this section.

  • Limited accessibility - If you have selected the accessible products search checkbox in the advanced search form, titles with limited or unknown accessibility data will be excluded from your search results. However, if you are doing more general searching, you can select this category to see publisher-supplied details of accessibility limitations.

  • Contacts for more information - You can limit your results to titles where there are additional contacts for further accessibility information. This might be a publisher or product website, or an email address where you can request more information.

Select one or more checkboxes to expand the categories and view further options to refine your search.

You can limit your results to titles that contain the specific accessibility features that you’re looking for by clicking one or more of the resulting checkboxes.

If you select options from more than one category, you will see the results from both categories combined in your search results.
