This would provide much great flexibility in using the lists and make them more interesting to look at.

We are unable to use the above feature as our catalogue (VuFind) is not included in those covered. I think that more catalogues should be able to use this feature because, simple as it is, it is very valuable to the student experience in getting them access to ebooks or newer editions that may have yet to be captured by the reading list.

It would be useful to be able to communicate with staff e.g. to remind them to publish their lists and also to request reviews. Staff appear to work on a list and intend to continue but then fail to finish off the process. A pop-up might be a useful way to remind them. Maybe a pop-up that we can customise? We wouldn't want it popping up all the time.

Where recommended items are not in stock, we offered a link through to the a WorldCat record from the specific title in TalisList.

Would it be possible to automate this in Aspire, by offering linking options to union catalogues, e.g. COPAC, WorldCat alongside the 'Related content', 'Library Availability', 'Buy from' choices.

The heading may be 'Availability in other libraries'.

It should be possible to add thumbnails of images, videos and other visuals to lists to make them look less boring. Ideally this would look like the news feed in Facebook. If the image is clicked it would then open up the full image onscreen or play the video full screen link to another page.

After rollover, you get a pop-up saying the results of rollover, e.g. how many new lists were created. When you've okayed this, you still have the line for the completed job in Review Jobs, but all the useful information is gone. Why can't it be retained? Since we can't report properly on lists yet, it's really useful to know how long it took, how many lists rolled over, how many failed, etc. It just seems odd not to keep that outcome in the screen.

We need additional fields in the 'export list as csv' function - e.g. for us it must include the catkey of the item in order to be useful for getting info from the LMS (catkey is the unique identifier, because the LCM/001 does nothing for us).

More generally it would be better to offer the choice of (all possible) fields for the user to select which are required in the output; it is always best to incorporate flexibility as not everyone would want the same output.

We would like the ability to search for archived lists at the "Home Page" rather then using the "Reports" tab. It would be easier for staff to search for the unit code or name of the list, rather then scroll through all of the archived lists

We would find it useful to have short URLs for lists as in bit.ly or asp.re

We would be interested in knowing which items have prompted students to click through to Amazon from the Buy from Amazon link.

It would be good to have a way of transferring one institution’s Talis Aspire reading list to another institution’s Talis Aspire if an academic is moving.

We would find it really useful to be able to make comparisons of statistics with other institutions to find out if our page views are comparable, lower or higher so we can use for advocacy and other marketing campaigns.

There are both "webpage" and "website" as resource types, because a webpage is part of a website. If this is the explanation, can the bookmarklet not automatically add the "is part of website" when webpages are bookmarked? (It might be "part of" not "is part of", I'm still not sure, but you know what I mean.)

As it says on the tin. The report currently doesn't include discipline. (Although see other idea: we'd rather not have the default list of disciplines, but have the schools set up in our hierarchy, to make this even more valuable information.)

When a user is asked to choose a department in the profile, this is potentially useful, but could be improved. If the departments to choose from were actually the schools that we have set up in our hierarchy, that would be much more appropriate. (We would perhaps need the option for someone to pick more than one, but this wouldn't be essential if not possible.)

Feedback from academics:

In Edit view the Edit button to the right of the list title is not very obvious compared to the orange links to 'edit metadata' and 'remove' items on a list. Could this be emphasised in someway and indicate that user can also set the 'Term' and list description from this link.
