Viewing Reading List Information Within Search Results

When viewing marketplace results, Rialto users can immediately see if a title appears on an active or upcoming reading list. Similar to the holdings display, reading lists are searched in real time alongside market title information. Matching citations appear in a dedicated Courses section within the holdings area. The Courses section includes:

• Linked citations (with MMS IDs) and unlinked “Book” citations (metadata only, including ISBN)
• All active and future courses the citation appears in (active courses have a start date in the past and end date in the future; future courses have start and end dates in the future)
• Citation status
• Number of participants in the course
• Tags attached to each citation (configurable per institution)
• A link that opens the citation in a side panel on the page

Individual offers that include reading list citations display a Reading List badge once they have been added to a cart.

Searching and Purchasing From Reading Lists or Citations

The following roles can search reading lists and citations:

• Course Reserves Operator/Manager (attached to a course department)
• Course Reserves Viewer (read-only access)
• Fulfillment Services Operator/Manager (attached to a course department)

Users with permission to modify reading lists or citations in Alma course reserves can search the Rialto marketplace directly from a list and place an order without interrupting their workflow. Similar to searching from a purchase request, a Search in Market button appears for each citation.

When you select the Search in Market button, Rialto searches the marketplace using the citation metadata (title, author, and/or ISBN). If matching titles are available, the corresponding offers appear on the results page. To assist in selection, course details are displayed alongside the results, and the holdings panel shows any local or network zone holdings.

When you identify the desired offer, select Link and Add to Cart to ensure that the record is linked to the citation upon purchase. The item is added to your cart, and a badge appears on the offer throughout the marketplace to indicate that another staff member is already working on it.

Searching Reading and Citation Lists

To search a reading or citation list, first, open the relevant list:

• For reading lists: 
  • Go to Fulfillment > Course Reserves > Reading Lists.
  • On the Reading Lists Task List page, select the Unassigned tab, choose a list you want to work on, and from the ellipsis menu, select Work On.
  • On the Edit Reading List page, continue to step 2.
• For citation lists:
  • Go to Fulfillment > Course Reserves > Citations.
  • On the Edit Citations page, continue to step 2.

In the row actions, select Search in Market. If Search in Market does not appear as a main action, you can access it from the ellipsis menu, or configure it to display as a main action using the settings cog on the page.

Rialto searches for all works that match the citation details (title, author, and/or ISBN) and displays them in the results list.

Select a work to view all available offers. If no matching works are found, modify the search terms and try again using keywords in the search box. Use the Facets panel on the left side of the page to refine your results. For details, see Working with Facets. 

The Reading List panel displays information from the associated course. If there is more than one course associated, the additional courses will appear in an expandable section. In addition, the Holdings panel opens automatically to show any matching local or network zone holdings.

Select the offer that you prefer, and when ready to complete the purchase, Link and Add to Cart. This action links the offer to the citation and adds it to your shopping cart A Linked Reading List badge will then appear on the offer.

To submit the cart for approval and complete the purchase process, see Adding to Shopping Cart and Submitting to Approval.

When a Rialto offer is linked to a reading list citation, the citation automatically updates to reflect its current processing status:

• In Rialto Cart – The title is in a cart or awaiting order approval.
• On Order – The order has been placed.
• Complete – The item has been received or activated.
• Rejected – The cart item was rejected by a Rialto Manager.
• Canceled – The order was canceled.

After a citation has been linked to a Rialto offer, the Search in Market action is replaced by a Linked to Market Offer label. Selecting this label re-runs the search, allowing you to choose a different offer to link the citation to.
