You'll see a Pending in cart link above a title's price if the title is already in other carts for your organization.
Filter a search
You can run an advanced search or filter search results by "Holdings" to only shop for titles Not in collection.
Check your cart
You can open any cart to see which titles in it have also been added to other carts (Pending column) and which titles you already own (Own columns).
