Biblionix announces Reserve Express enhancements for media and series
July 30, 2019 - Biblionix announced that its ground-breaking Reserve Express capability has been significantly enhanced.

Whenever staff catalogs such new books, they simply click a button to add all subscribers to the reserve list, in random order. This lets patrons rest easy and not be concerned with the arrival timing of new books; as subscribers, they know they’ll receive them. And staff need not maintain manual lists of subscribers.
