Talis Aspire Reading lists should allow searching by course code in WorldCat Discovery

Our students would like to be able to search our library catalogue WorldCat Discovery for course codes and easily see search results that are attached to a course code from the current trimester. Currently, we have the integration enabled for Worl...

Ability to set a minimum amount of time with the 'Needed By' digitisation function

As admins we can restrict the year dates, but not the amount of notice given for a digitisation. We use the time between the 'Needed by' and 'Live' dates as performance measures, and we would really like to be able to put some restrictions in to i...

Address a focus or scrolling issue when using keyboard navigation

Using the arrow and other quick navigation keys with a screen reader such as JAWS for Windows to navigate a reading list which is organised by weeks or topics. The content seems to auto-scroll and unexpectedly change screen reader focus. When I re...
