We would like to communicate list review outcomes not only to the owner of a list but to our Acquisitions team too, who would rather receive our purchase requests in Excel sheets. So, exporting the outcome to an Excel sheet is quite useful here. But the only problem is Last comment under Review Outcome (in which we plan to convey our requests to our Acquisitions team, such as number of copies to purchase, e-books or print, etc) does not appear when the review is exported to Excel.

Automate the metadata refresh process e.g. set it to run at 6 am each morning so that, at peak times, items are being refreshed regularly without manual intervention

Add Word format (or even plain text) to the options for outputting from the lists.

Members of teaching staff are using our lists to cut and past information in to documents and it would be much easier to do this from Word than from PDf or RIS formats.
If Word is not possible, a txt file would be a good second best.
Thanks

We're experiencing a large amount of copied lists by academics and the copy list function is often not being used as intended. As a result additional work is being generated identifying correct lists then deleting copied versions and duplicate drafts.

Presently the copy list permission cannot be separated as it part of a standard role but we would be keen to see it as a stand alone permission so it could be transferred to specific roles such as Library Acquisitions and Systems Admin.

Display of font

It would be great if there was an option to italicise/display in bold data entered into the Student Notes section (or anywhere on the list really). The font would still be consistent for the institution but this would allow greater ability for list creators to add emphasis where required.

Divided into categories, classified into small groups to people outside look at what they need to know and the owners know the exact purpose in learning

It would be great if you were able to select a meaningful URL for each readings lists (in the same way you can when posting via Wordpress, etc.) Currently the meaningless string of characters make Analytics reports hard to digest. It would also be great if academics could hand out a short, simple URL. Something along the lines of uni.readinglists.ac.uk/ENXXXX

At the moment, if academics want an item to be put on short loan they write this request in the library note field. Is it possible to have a tick box for academics to select items for short loan?

In addition to being able to access our library services, students at our university have access to another major collection which has its own separate catalogue.
We're always trying to promote this facility and it would make a huge difference if we could link multiple catalogues into Talis so users could see what resources were available to them via this service

I've just agreed to trial Talis Aspire, but will not be using it until the Amazon button is removed. Universities are public sector institutions, and we should not support tax-avoiding corporations like Amazon by incorporating them into our modules like this.

The facility to run a report which identified any broken links to external content in bookmarks would help ensure lists were kept up-to-date without the need for a lot of manual checking. Similar tools are a very useful feature of products such as LibGuides.

We'd like items in lists to display author first rather than by title which is how they currently display. Academics often refer to reading in the following terms "Read Smith chapters 2 & 3" it is then confusing for students who cannot browse a list to identify the book by Smith.
I appreciate this could vary across institutions, perhaps the ability to alter display settings locally would be useful?

Expand list of academic disciplines availbile in profiles and/or make the list customizable

We think more academics would use the Dashboard feature and in doing so apprecaite the impact of the size and structutre of their list, if library staff could automatic create (and delete) user profiles for academics.

At present if a student opens a list and then prints it without being signed in they get all the hyperlinks included in the list. However, if they have signed in and do this the hyperlinks are not there.

A much better route for them to take is using the 'Export' button as you don't need to be signed in to get a PDf that is clearer.But I don;t think this is immediately obvious.

I have attached a not very clear photo of what I mean, apologies as they were taken on my phone
