COBISS+ V12.0 new features

October 9, 2022

News, bug fixes and updates

Change of the reservation model for libraries without pickup locations; the best status from the department holdings is taken into account regardless of the material accession number.
Enabled search of and access to full texts of e-books in open access or with a subscription in Slovenian libraries. The data is a result of the Academic Digital Collection of Slovenia project, which includes over one million e-books from all areas of science for academic and research purposes. It is possible to search this content in the COBIB bibliographic/catalogue database and in some university library catalogues.
The new Book locator application was added to COBISS+ for a visual 3D representation of the location of the selected material on the library shelf. The application enables a simple map of the library space with elements such as shelves, book boxes, counters, tables, chairs and other elements, as well as a 3D display of the library space.
Improved display of organisations and variant headings, as well as a link to the SICRIS record, if it exists, for records in the CONOR database.
