In the manual Edit of an item, it is not currently possible to add a 'Place of Publication' - could this be added?

A list editor can manually elect to rollover a single list to a new time period.

This is in essence an optimisation of the copy functionality - a copy of the source list is taken with the option for the user to select a new time period.

This will allow customers to detect dead ends for users and take action outside the system boundary to rectify.

Later we could think about what activities could occur within the system boundary, e.g. request a list, email notification etc.

Instead of the generic 'no image available' icon (and not conflicting with the idea previously logged of having an upload/snapshot image tool), could Aspire support the idea of Tenancy specific generic icons which were resource type sensitive. So the workflow would be: 'This is a journal article; I have no image to accompany this; retrieve and display the Tenancy specific journal article icon'.

It seems essential for rollout to have the ability to add a Creative Commons licence to a list. In the same way as you can to photos in flickr. It needs to be simple, obvious and explanatory.

Several times when creating a list- we have lost changes due to not saving the list before leaving the page to add further resources to My Bookmarks. Different resources open up pages in a new window and it is easy to move away from a list you are editing.

Is it feasible to have changes to the list save automatically as you add an item or remove one?

Academics- particually those that share edit rights; or where the academics are editing the lists dynamically; it is important to allow an easy 'watch this list' type funtion. RSS seems the obvious way but there may be others ...

A Look Up feature- similar to the DOI one would be useful to populate the bookmarklet form if the author / title details are not imported. Possibly a 'look up' using the ISBN to search COPAC?

For each purchase recommendation it would be good if Aspire could automatically make use of something like x-ISBN to find all possible 'manifestations' of the item requested- and then run each version against the LMS to determin allready in stock. It should also be used to search across the tenancy to see if any other lists are pointing to a different 'version' of the item

Ideas from student focus group:

One of the key comments from all participants was to be able to view their resource list readings by week required.

As suggested- a comment made on another idea. It would be good if in the personalised areas there was a filter to lists/items with personal notes 'attached'.

This would fit into the student revision workflow. At high stress and time poor periods students will want a quick way to get back to resources they found helpful.

I think a feature like this would encourage them to put notes on in the first place. At the moment there is not a great incentive to use the notes area.

From an academic

(working on transferred lists- so not bookmarked via Aspire bookmarklet tool)

it would be useful sometimes to be able to move items from the reading llist back to the bookmark list - curently existing lists need completing again ...

If a user is browsing the hierarchy and there is no list linked to a course- when they click on the course title- the page is blank below the course title. Can there be a standard message displayed along the lines of - 'there are currently no lists linked to this course'.

The Library Availability section of the item details page has fixed headers. (Collection, Shelf Mark, Availability.) We would find it very useful to be able to customise these headers to match our in-house terminology to give a consistent user experience. Specifically, we'd like to be able to use the term "Classmark" rather than "Shelf Mark".

More generally, this may be useful to match terminology to different LMSs, so that institutional terminology can kept consistent across systems.

Similar to the 'display of chapters' idea, which is due to be implemented, we have received feedback that academics would like the journal information to be shown in the reading list display i.e. without the student having to click through to the article title.

Some of our staff find it very helpful to print lists to use while they review them. This is particularly useful on very long lists when the review cant be completed in one sitting - it gives staff an immediate view of where they got to. Can this please be added to 2.0?

To run a report of all lists which generates the number of reviews carried out on the list. Ability to refine this report to specific time frames.

We are using report data to trigger ordering and identify high demand text books across thousands of reading lists. Having publisher information in the report would make our workflow substantially more efficient. I'm hoping this may be included as part of the work to improve Reviews.

Colleagues new to reviewing taking advantage of the direct link to ordering would like a visual cue for this it would simplify the ordering process.
