The #1 Browser Extension that lets you instantly see book and e-book availability from your local library

November 27, 2023: 2023.1127.1

New Features

  • No new features in this release

Improvements

  • Case LIB-439 Improved search results obtained for NLS Bard users
    The search results for the NLS Bard catalog were obtained using an older search endpoint. The endpoint was updated to use a secure, updated endpoint with improved results now observed.

Bug Fixes

  • Case LIB-440 Barnes and Noble 'collapse' button was missing
    On Barnes And Noble (bn.com), the collapse button was not visible due to a naming conflict. The names used to identify this element were updated and the button is functional again.

Known Issues

  • OCLC catalogs are no longer supported due to changes in how searches require authentication
    If your library uses an OCLC catalog, the functionality is currently broken and we are unable to provide an estimate for any fixes.

In Case You Missed It

  • The Library Extension now has the ability to display multiple matching results for physical catalogs
    This new Beta feature will return all matching items for physical catalogs. Previously, only the first matching item was returned, even if no holdings were available. This behavior is now more consistent with how digital catalogs will return all matching items.
    To enable this feature, open the Library Extension configuration page and choose 'General Settings'. Scroll down the list of displayed items until you see 'Beta Feature' with the description. Choose 'Yes, I want all possible matches to be displayed'

One more thing...

The Library Extension is provided at no cost, but it still takes time and effort to make this tool available to you. Consider supporting the Library Extension with a contribution to ensure that we can continue to bring these updates to everyone!
