  1. Show on the Review screen when list was last reviewed, or which are new items

    At the moment in the Review screen for any individual list, there is nothing to indicate when a list was last previously reviewed, or which items have been added since the last review. (You can obviously see items in the order they have been added; but in order to know which are new since the last review, you need to know the previous review date, and that doesn't display - you have to remember to go and search for it in Reviews before starting to review the list.)

    Obviously if all your staff are using the Log when they review…

  2. Include further bibliographic info in All List Items report - specifically book publisher

    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.

  4. Report on number of copies in the library

    A report that shows the number of copies of each title in stock without having to check each title individually. this would be useful for acquisitions if you use a formula. You could see quickly if you had the right ratio of copies for the number of students on the course

    We have reviewed this item and due to availability being a live feed and constantly changing it is not possible to report on the number of copies you have in stock in a report format.

    We have though as part of the reviews refresh displayed the library stock in the reviews screen so when making purchasing decisions you can quickly see how many items you have and the format they are available in, this also provides you with the current availability of those items. You can then use this information in line with your formulas if you use them as part of your ordering process.

  5. Sorting Reports by Date Created and Last Edited

    Hi.
    We'd find it usefull if you could sort the "All Lists" report by Date.

  6. To be able to assign/change time periods from the 'edit' drop down tab

    I am currently going through a big batch of lists that need a time period for the rollover. At present I have to open the edit screen to change or this.

    It would be great if this was an opion under the 'Edit' button along with 'Assign List Owner' and 'Link to Hierarchy'

  7. Reviews screen - load dynamic action buttons on list selection

    A significant overhead on the loading of the Library Review screen is the dynamic calculation of the relevant Action button items. As the page loads, this calculations are made iteratively for each and every list under review. As it is not possible for an individual to open multiple lists for review, only one of those actions will be initiated for one list at any one time. That means that all but one of the calculations of appropriate actions are loaded unnecessary in a 'just in case' fashion. It would be preferable if the list of lists loaded without the action…

  8. Remove 'Article'; remove 'chapter'

    Could you include the option to 'Remove 'Article' / 'Chapter'' in the same way we have the option to Remove ..'Is part of'.

    Once you add 'Is part of' as a field, you can easily create your article or chapter title. If you change your mind and want to remove 'Is part of ..', you can, which is great, but youare left with the article title, which you can't remove.

  9. suppress googlebooks preview icon if the equivalent e-book is in stock

    We have a pretty healthy collection of (paid-for) e-books - and these show in the list as they should. But if there is also a googlebook for the same title, the googlebook preview icon also shows. Not only is this confusing for the student, but it diverts them from the paid-for resource

    Since the introduction of the Online Resource button (whose appearance will also be improved – see top idea), where a resource is an ebook, the google preview is now suppressed.

  10. Allow searching and sorting across the whole report

    It would be much more efficient if we could search and sort across the whole report, not just the displayed screen

  11. Export whole report

    Currently, only the displayed screen is exported, not the whole report. It would be much easier and time efficient to export the whole report at once

  12. Add 'archived by' to Archived Lists report

    The Archived Lists report would be more useful with additional information, namely "archived by" and hierarchical information (being able to sort/filter it by school/department lists would be beneficial).

    The List Length report is has now been retired and has been replaced by what is currently called the All Lists report. This includes the list length information and also now includes the linked hierarchy node(s) codes for each list in the report. It is also possible to filter the report by the required hierarchy node code.

  14. Reports function - Departments with no lists attached

    In the new Reports function, there are options to show 'Modules without lists' and 'units without lists' - is it possible to have the same for 'Courses' as at Sussex we link the reading list to the Course title in the hierarchy. It would be very useful to identify which courses did not have a reading list attached.

    I’ve added a “Courses with no lists” report – let me know how you get on. I wasn’t sure from the Idea whether you meant courses or departments – but guessed you meant courses. Let me know how you get on.

  15. Move existing node to be child of another

    If you have an existing node (e.g. Module A) associated as a child to another node (e.g Faculty Y) which you want to move beneath another node (e.g. Faculty Z), it is not possible to do with current functionality.

    This is something that can occur at times, and the only way to achieve this currently is (using the above example) to delete module X after disassociating any lists, and recreate it under Faculty Z.

  17. Extend item-on-lists API to include ISSN

    For the developments that we're working on locally, building utilities to support the Acquisitions process, it would be really helpful if the items-on-lists API could be extended to include ISSNs values (as well as the current ISBN, DOI and LCN values), to support requests with the following syntax
    http://[tenancyurl]/issn/09552359/lists

    As with the other item value look-ups, an ISSN look-up should match against 'Is part of' metadata as well.

  20. "Borrow this" - change to "Find this"

    At least one user has interpreted the "Borrow this" button in the Availability applet to mean "Reserve this". Could this be clarified by rewording it to "Find this" instead?
