ReferenceUSA Answers Your Questions!
Email count on the custom page - This identifies the number of email addresses within the counts. If we ran a search and we had 20,000 records and 15,000 email counts, it is informing the patron that we have 15,000 email addresses to email to. Since we can not publish those, they would contact us and we would do an email blast for them, similar if they were to purchase a list from us.
Zero Dropped from New Jersey Zip Codes - Because of comma delimited I’m told it’s not something we have control over. However, once you download into the Excel format, the zero isn’t dropped off, it’s on the record. So download into Excel.
As far as the recommendations with Yellow Pages headings and a search button, I’ll let you know what I find out when I have word.
Best regards,
Bill Loges

Changes to NoveList Interfaces
Based on feedback EBSCO has received, EBSCO has made the following changes to the NoveList interfaces:
Series Searching:
A series search using the Series Title radio button will now bring up either a series master record, which contains the full information for a series including the series title list in reading order, or a list of all series that match your search terms.
For example, a search from the NoveList homepage for "Harry Potter" with the Series Title radio button selected will pull up the master record for the Harry Potter series: view screen shot.
From the series master record you will find the list of titles in reading order with links to each title record, as well as author information and additional information about the series. You can still easily print a series list to hand to your patron. Just click the Print link at the top of the series master record. At the Print Manager, select Detailed Citation and Abstract from the Standard Field Format drop-down menu, then click the Print button.
What We're Reading Display:
What We're Reading columns are now sorted by Date Descending, to bring the newest listings for each contributor to the top of the list. For example, from the Browse column select What We're Reading under the Adults heading. Now select the "What Georgine Olson is Reading" link. You will now find Georgine Olson's May 2009 column at the top of the list.
Popularity and First Chapters Available in Title Record:
Popularity stars and links to First Chapters and Tables of Content are now available on the right side of the title record (under the book jacket image, if available).
Custom Folders Display:
When you log in to your My NoveList account, you will now find your custom folders listed in alphabetical order. When you add a new custom folder, it will also be placed in the list alphabetically.
Please let us know if you have any questions or comments, by using this Send Feedback link, also located in the top right corner of the NoveList screen.
