MARC download: add this function to search results
Currently the only way to download a title's MARC record is to add it to the shopping cart.
Adding the option of downloading the MARC when viewing additional title details in the search results would be a big improvement for those of us who do not place their Proquest orders via Oasis.

Reinstate blank order form
Enable libraries to add publication information if an item is not listed on Oasis. This facility was removed during the last upgrade. At the moment we have to contact Customer Services to get this information added.

Implement EAN per Account Code for EDI Invoicing with Alma
In the vendor EDI options Alma allows for an 'EAN per account code' function. When utilised this ensures that EDI orders and invoices are vendor account specific. Other vendors have this setup, however, when I queried ProQuest about this recently they advised it is not currently supported.
Implementing 'EAN per account code' for EDI would remove the need for us to manually select the vendor account (e.g. eBooks, Print, Standing Orders) on the invoice created on Alma as this would be populated by the EAN contained in the EDI file. This would more fully automate EDI invoicing and remove the…

We would like to be able to change the default of the search results in Oasis.
We would like to be able to change the default of the search results in Oasis. In the old system we could sort by Copyright year and it would carry on defaulting to this, unless you changed it again. Although we can choose this in the new interface, it always reverts back to best match results, which is a really odd default. Is there anyway we can change this to default to Copyright year?

Limit search results by status
The new Oasis interface lacks limits or facets to facilitate searching. For instance, we need to have the ability to limit search results by status to eliminate those that have a status of "in library holdings" or have another status.

Change chronology of standing order items to year-month instead of month-year
When searching for standing orders, the titles appear in multiples, one for each volume published. When sorting them by date, they are sorted alphabetically by month, with the year written second (not useful!). I suggest that the dates be written as (year)-(numerical month), so that they could sort chronologically.

Order print and ebook at the same time
We often order a print book and an ebook at the same time to suit different students' requirements, but OASIS currently requires us to add them to the cart separately and add order info for each of them. It would be helpful if we could select both formats in the cart.

Add the ability for organizations with multiple ratifiers to work off of the same submission list.
Currently we have to assign selectors to ratifiers to distribute the work and it often results in unfair distirbution or us needing to forward lists to each other. It would be really nice if we had a shared submissions list that all ratifiers could go to and work off of when placing orders.

Searching for awards or review criteria in OASIS
It would be helpful to be able to search for titles profiled in OASIS on awards or review criteria. Can a field or filter be added to enable this?

Add print/copy/download limits to eBook 'Title details' tab
Print/copy/download limits set by publishers are not visible via Oasis for eBooks hosted on Ebook Central. It would be useful to have this information available in Oasis in order to assist with making purchasing decisions. Suggested to add to the 'Title details' tab under pricing/licensing information in similar format as it displays in LibCentral. e.g. Print: 1% Copy: 1%

Form on Oasis to request titles as ebooks
Would like there to be a form on Oasis for colleagues who want to know if we can get a print title in ebook format. Or to suggest a collaboration between a small publisher and EBC so we can access their ebooks on the platform rather than self-hosting a PDF. We would also like a way to be able to view what's been requested and any progress in the process.

Add streaming video titles to OASIS
The marketplace for ordering individual streaming video titles is confusing and diffuse, much like ebooks were several years ago. As with ebooks, we'd be inclined to order many more of these if the process of finding the titles and platforms on which they're accessible were easier.

Sort by physical book or ebook
When working in "authorize orders" it would be helpful if there were an option added to the sort by field that was for either physical book (pbk) or ebooks. When I'm ordering pbk books I often have to download records so I will do those separate from the ebooks. Thanks!

Creating an ILLiad Add-on for OASIS (similar to the one created for GOBI)
our ILL team has asked for an add-on for OASIS, just like they have one for GOBI.
Would it be possible for the OASIS/ProQuest team to create an add-on to use with ILLiad?
Here’s the link to the main page explaining how to create and submit add-ons:
https://atlas-sys.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ILLiadAddons/pages/3149447/Submitting+AddonsWhat they suggest in the following link is to use an already created add-on and build on it. Since the add-on for GOBI already exists, the easiest would be for ProQuest to copy that add-on but use OASIS features instead of GOBI features. On the left-hand side of the page, you will…

Talis Integration
I would like ProQuest to work with Talis to integrate supplier information (book & ebook prices) into the Talis Aspire product. Talis Aspire has become an integral part of our ordering workflow and other book suppliers have already taken the step to integrate using an API. For us, it would create greater efficiency in stock selection as we would not need to login to multiple websites to check for prices and would almost certainly lead to us buying more books and ebooks from ProQuest.
It would also help massively if prices shown were inclusive of VAT & discounts. This links…

Better integration of Ifound with Proquest systems
Can the integration of Ifound be improved so that any book we order from Proquest be automatically fed into Ifound, regardless of the item being ordered via the Oasis channel.
At the moment we have to cancel the order sent via EDI and start again via Ifound according to colleagues working in the monograph ordering team

E-Book titles - Display "Not Available" phrases in RED LETTERS
Can you display the "Not Available: No sales rights in your region" phrase in the Title Details tab and the "Not Available" phrase in the title record, in RED LETTERS. Presently they are in black letters and hard to spot. I consider these phrases as a Status or a Cancellation, which you display in red or orange letters.
