Display Author names with consistency

I've noticed that when you create a manual entry in Talis you are given a format to enter the author names as: Author (first name, surname) But this then causes a mismatch in how the author details are displayed when you use the Add Resource butto...

Ability to share/show bookmarks

With the developments happening around bookmarking, we were wondering whether the ability to allow sharing of your bookmarks would be something to be added to that review? We've been asked by our librarians about the possibility for an academic to...

Customise name of Library Search in new OCLC WorldCat Discovery integration

It would be good to be able to customise the name of the Library Search in the new OCLC integration (when you use Add Resource, underneath the user's own bookmarks it's currently called Library Search). We all have slightly different local names f...

Site configurable label text for 'Add Resource' search function

We would like the wording for 'Search by title, author, or ISBN-13' to be site configurable so that it is clear to instructors/staff what exactly is being searched. For instance, a more useful label text for Douglas College might be 'Search OneSea...
