The ability to suppress the "Request Digitisation" link next to e-books in reading lists
We don't ever digitise from titles where we own an ebook version.
To avoid pointless requests and wasting the requester's time, we'd like the ability to suppress the "Request Digitisation" link for ebook items in reading lists.
That is, we don't want that link to appear to users if format = ebook.
I understand there will be a future development theme on integration between Digitised Content and Reading List modules - could this be considered under that theme?

Removal of "check for local electronic submissions" button for journal article extracts
Reading list entries for journal articles have a link to "check for local electronic subscriptions".
Where articles are digitised, the link to the digital extract is further down the page. It is sometimes necessary to scroll down to see this, particularly on mobile devices and other small screens. Hence, student clicks on "click to see e-sub" link (and gets "not available" message) and does not realise that digital extract is available as this is not visible.
Can this "check for local electronic subscriptions" link be removed in cases where there is a digital extract available? (Generally , there should not…

time period
Time periods in TADC: Add the ability to either hide or remove time periods from TADC "Available for rollover' menu. QUT has 33 individual time periods and has been running TADC for 3 years which is 99 time periods to scroll through to select the most current time period. We only rollover from previous year so would like the ability to hide any time period older than 2 years without impacting on the ability to report on those earlier time periods.

The ability to reply to a request, or ask for further information
There may be times when we would wish to enter a dialogue with the academic, particularly where the academic has overridden the concierge. At present there only seems to be the option to either reject or process these requests. We would like to be able to ‘reply’ to a request and to have a ‘pending reply’ type status while we clarify what is required. (I’m thinking for example of a response like “the pages you have selected exceed the maximum permissible. This appears to be because the pages you have selected do not quite tally with the chapter in this…

Can we add a 'no review/purchase required' tag to Reading Lists Reviews
Can we add a 'no review/purchase required' tag to Reading Lists reviews for academics to apply to certain items on very long reading lists?
This would allow them to keep all their reading material in one list AND allow such items to be filtered out of review list presented to Library Assistants when starting review (possibly linked to the section Key/Recommended/Background)?

Link to the catalogue from the request details
It would be useful to be able to link directly to the catalogue when reviewing a request, so that we can see where it is, whether it’s available and then make intersite/reservation requests etc if necessary.

Add edition and date to item details in request emails
Currently only the the Book title, Authors/Editors and ISBN(s) are given in TADC emails (success or reject). For users who are requesting on multiple editions/years, it is not easy to work out which exact item the message refers to.
It would useful if these key bibliographic details could be added to the email to avoid confusion.

Bulk withdrawal of digitisations removed from reading lists
At the beginning of each semester, lecturers are reviewing their reading lists and removing their digitisations .Library staff are then required to withdraw a large number of digitisations from the Digitised Content. The ability to bulk withdraw these digitisations with a standard notification to the lecturers would be really useful.

Naming of sections of a book when requesting digitisation rather than just having the page numbers
Currently we are able to add the name of the chapter when requesting digitisation, but when we are using a section of a book instead there is no option to give it a name, all that is recorded are the page numbers. Sometimes academics give the section a name, or in the past we ourselves have given it a name eg. Extracts from......

Edit and pre-clear process during rollover
Why does no data stay in the fields when you Edit and Preclear a number of requests as it does when editing just one request?
It is useful to be able to see all the data and be able to change only what is necessary. This is often only one field such as student numbers or the requester. Whereas currently we have to re-enter all the field data as it opens as empty fields apart from the dates.
The process requires looking at one request anyway to see what the fields contain and what might need updating. Then you have…

Requesting digitisation of legal resources
Add the ability to request digitisation of legal resources.
The addition of new legal and law resources types in reading lists is appreciated, but it is still not possible to request digitisation for these resource types.5 votesThis is something Talis are working towards. Currently Talis Aspire Digitised Content only enables you to upload materials that require copyright clearance, but the Talis Player will not only enable you to upload material that needs to be copyright cleared, but also other materials.
Talis have been working with beta partners to develop this, and we will keep you up to date with the wider release of this through the usual updates (webinars, newsletters, events etc).

Option to source from BL when scan has been uploaded
We would like the option of sourcing a request from BL even when the requestor has uploaded their own scan.We would like this as, where possible, we obtain an EHESS scan from BL. Currently if a copy has been uploaded there is no option to source from BL. It would be much more user friendly to have this option rather than to withdraw the request and ask the lecturer to rerequest it from the reading list.
1 voteYou can change the source of the request now when reviewing a request but we want to see if we can make this so you can raise the request via the BL using the API rather than manually.

Could we view in TADC a list or report of all of the EHESS CFP requests we've made so far?
We'd like the ability to view any on-order or already purchased EHESS items. This is to avoid duplicating requests to the BL as they do not inform us if we've already requested something.

New status or reason of "Ordered from BLDCS"
I am wasting a lot of time by reviewing Requests that are at the status of Referred / Copy Pending, when many of these have had orders sent to BLDSC. This is not obvious until you open the Request, and although this info is displayed on the right of the screen, because I am assuming that something needs to be checked / done, I am scrolling down all of the Concierge checks before I realise that we are actually waiting for a file from BL.
Please can this be added as a reason under Referred

Indicate in Reading Lists, if a Digitisation request has been made and rejected
If an Academic makes a Digitisation Request, which is rejected further down the line in Digitised Content. The Academic receives an email to this effect, but the Item in their Reading List has no indication that a Request was ever made. The "Request Digitisation" link is still available. I think Academics will forget they have requested the scan and it was rejected, and request a scan again....
Once a Request has been rejected, please can this be indicated on the Reading List - at least for the period of the Module or Academic Year.10 votesWe are exploring this idea, to see if it is possible to add a rejection status into reading lists.

Ability to upload jpeg images in TADC - currently can only upload pdfs
Whilst our scanner can save images in jpeg format, TADC is only able to upload pdfs. In our Art & Design dept lecturers prefer jpegs as the format presents a much clearer detailed image. In order to encourage Art & Design lecturers (under-represented in our stats) to use TARL and TADC we would like to have the facility to upload JPEGs.

Integrate TADC User Profiles with existing TARL Profiles
Many TADC users also have TARL.
Staff Users register with TARL and are assigned Priviliges.
Users then setup a separate Profile for TADC which requires exactly the same information that they have already supplied to TARL.My Suggestiuon is that the TADC and TARL profiles are Integrated so that users don't separately register for both products.

New users need to be able to remove existing coversheets of resubmitted materials, at DC end to avoid duplication.
Existing offprints that are being re-submitted for continued use have an old BL coversheet which cannot be removed during the 'accept self-scan process'. The result is a bundle that has 2 coversheets which could be confusing. The presence of the old coversheet is however useful in identifying material as a re-submission, but should be removed from the newly created bundle.
1 voteI agree that the coversheet options available for normal uploads should be available in this scenario. This is not in our near term development focus, but I’ve put in in the backlog for review when we have got through some already planned items

Making note field searchable (e.g. identifying BL requests for invoicing)
When we receive invoices for documents supplied to us from the British Library, requests are identified by the order number which the BL allocates. This is usually in this format: 00524015.
Currently it is not possible to match up requests on our invoice with requests in the DCM. We can input the BL order number in the note field but really this needs to be a searchable field so that when we receive an invoice we can match up items listed with requests in the DCM.
