Reject copy button when a copy is supplied by requester

When a requester supplies their own scan sometimes it's not appropriate because it's an ILL copy or it isn't a cleanly scanned copy, it would be good to have the option to just reject the copy rather than have to reject the whole request.

Pin the yellow "Unpublished Changes" bar so it is visible when scrolling down list

The yellow "Unpublished changes!" warning bar is a great idea in theory, but when list editors scroll down a long list, it quickly disappears from view. We still get huge numbers of lists inadvertently left by academics with unpublished changes (w...

Change 'Edit list details' to 'Edit list privacy' only

Only system administrators/library staff should be able to change list settings such as the time periods, titles, and licences. We find the description box is rarely used. Academics tend to change the time periods to 'rollover' their list, without...

Change the save buttons in the Assign List Owner window.

We have the ongoing problem of lecturers using expired lists, instead of the lists rolled over for their course. As the new green "PUBLISHED: This lists is live , students can see latest changes " status label is appearing on all published lists, ...

Change automated notification emails so they aren't mistaken for Spam/Scams

When a lecturer is assigned as the List Owner of a reading list, they receive this automated message: ""Congratulations John Smith, You have been assigned as the owner of the reading list TALIS101 - Talis Aspire (https://aut.rl.talis.com/lists/123...

To be able to Create a bespoke 'Archive' Message for lists for your Tenancy

The current Archive message and colour means any users accessing are assuming they cannot access an archived list. If your VLE set-up allows students to maintain access to all the modules they study on their course year on year then you have to de...

Please automatically tick the Online Resource box when 'Document' is selected as the resource type

Documents are practically always online PDFs. Please make the Online Resource box automatically ticked when 'Document' is selected as the resource type. (The same way webpage is automatically ticked) In the rare instance that a print document is b...

View other formats/editions - search with editor

Currently the View other formats/editions search only uses the Title and Author. Where a work has an editor, not an author, our EDS search fails to find any results. If you do title and author search, using the edit as the author, it locates the a...
