I don't know if anyone has suggested this before, but I would like to suggest the inclusion of a "Not" option for the search parameters in the Patron Book Search in the Patron portal. For instance, if a patron wants mysteries, but does not want cozy mysteries, it's difficult to significantly narrow down that search unless the patron has "cozy mystery" as an exclusion. So far, we only have "Begins," "Equals," and "Keyword." If we had the option to search for "Subject->Keyword-> Mystery" and "Subject->Not->Cozy Mystery," that might help refine the search. Please let me know if you have questions, and if this is something that could be considered.
Thank you!
