We've updated our Change History report and Change Notice email reports to make it easier for CataList users to keep track of moving publication dates, and other key data point changes.
We know it’s hard to keep up with all the publication date changes that are happening right now. To help you keep track of the ongoing changes, we’ve updated the change tracking reports in CataList to make them easier to read and use.
Here’s how to track data changes in CataList, and set up a weekly emailed report.
Log into CataList, and click My Page in the top navigation bar (or bottom bar on mobile).
In the Updates & Alerts box, click Manage Alerts. This takes you to your personal settings, where you can choose the data elements you want to track.
Scroll down to Notifications and select the data points you want to track from the list of options:
4. If you want to get a weekly report of these changes emailed to you on Monday mornings, scroll up to Email options and opt in to the Weekly data changes email.
Now that you've set up your change tracking, you can view historical changes on all forthcoming titles! Head back to My Page, and from the Updates & Alerts box you can click the View History box next to the Change notifications count - even if there are no new ones logged yet.
The reports lets you toggle your display of the change types, and filter your report to just the titles that you are interested in - All titles, only your own account’s titles (for publisher accounts), or your Favourites. (Here’s how to set up your Favourite publishers and imprints!)
The report now includes several new columns including the publishing status, Canadian distributor, and a calculation of the change amount from the previous data value to the new value. You can sort the report by clicking on any column header, or download your report to an Excel file if you’d like to do more advanced sorting and filtering.
We love to hear how the new features are working for you! Send your feedback to catalist@booknetcanada.ca.

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.

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. |
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.
